# Instructions:
01 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the crumbled bacon, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
02 -
For each ravioli, spoon a small amount of the beef and bacon mixture into the center. Add a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top, then seal the edges by pressing tightly with a fork or fingers.
03 -
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned breadcrumbs (with smoked paprika, if using). Dredge each filled ravioli in flour, dip in egg, and coat in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all ravioli.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). Ensure enough oil to fully submerge the ravioli.
05 -
Lower a few ravioli into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
06 -
Serve the crispy, golden ravioli hot with ketchup and mustard for dipping. Enjoy the juicy, cheesy goodness with a satisfying crunch!
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent at 175°C to avoid undercooking or overcooking the ravioli.
02 -
For an extra burst of flavor, add smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture.
