Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread breadcrumbs on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.

- Place flour in medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Separate red onion slices into rings and toss in flour to coat lightly. Heat 1/2 cup oil in same large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add chopped onion; sauté until light golden and beginning to soften, about 6 minutes. Add frozen corn; sauté 5 minutes. Add milk and cream; bring to boil. Gradually stir in grits and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and remaining green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer creamed corn to prepared dish. (Topping and corn can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)

Tips:
- Make sure to cut the bacon slices into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon slices. Just make sure to blot them dry with paper towels before wrapping them around the onion rings.
- If you don't have any onion rings, you can make your own by slicing a large onion into 1-inch thick rings. Then, separate the rings and dredge them in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the onion rings. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped onion rings are the perfect appetizer or side dish for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
