“Pickle My Funny Bone” Burger

I am a pickle girl, as I am sure I have shared before, so of course I had to make this fried pickle burger by our BFF Bob. It is one of the more simple burgers that Mr. Belcher has to offer, with fried pickles and a spicy mayo being the stars of the show; but don’t let simple fool you, because DAMN it’s good.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable/Canola Oil for Frying
  • 1/3 Cup Flour
  • 1/3 Cup Cornmeal
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 TBSP Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 TSP Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 16 oz jar Kosher Dill Pickle Chips
  • 4 Hamburger Buns
  • 1/2 Cup Mayo
  • 1 TBSP Frank’s Red Hot
  • 1 TSP Ketchup
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • Green Leaf Lettuce

Let’s Get Cooking

In a deep saucepan, heat about an inch of oil to 350F.

Mix the flour + cornmeal + seasoning + red pepper flakes in a large bowl. In a small bowl, crack the egg and beat it.

Drain the pickle chips and pat dry. Dunk the pickles in the eggs and then dredge in the seasoned flour. Fry the coated pickle chips in small batches until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon. Be sure to check the oil temperature between batches.

In a bowl, mix together mayo + hot sauce + ketchup, adjusting per your taste.

Form the beef into 4 patties, season both sides with salt + pepper, and cook to your liking.

To build the burger: bottom bun, lettuce, burger, fried pickles, spicy mayo, top bun.

Made with Love,

Hannah
