Deep Fried Hamburgers

Deep Fried Hamburgers are very easy to make, but seasoning the meat is essential to getting the flavor just right. I searched the web for Dyer's recipe and got a variety of results, so I had to play around with the ingredients a bit to get the best flavor possible.

Every recipe I found called for onion soup mix, I tried that, but we found the burgers too salty to eat. So I substituted one small grated onion and got the wonderful onion flavor without all that salt. Grated onion is fantastic, because it creates a juicy onion pulp that mixes well with ground beef.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion ~ grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 shakes each: seasoned salt & black pepper

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together while oil heats in a Wok or deep frying pan.
Season hot oil with Garlic powder & Montreal Steak seasoning

Prepare buns by putting a dollop of Ketchup & mustard, 2 pickle slices and one thin slice of onion on the bottom of each bun.

Prepared burger by forming patties that are twice the size of the bun in diameter and about 1/4-1/3 inch thick. Place bun bottoms, bun tops & cheese slices near frying pan. Until you get the hang of it, it is best to cook one burger at a time.

Using a metal spatula gently place the formed burger in the hot seasoned oil. (these burgers cook fast) Cook for about 1 minute, then gently flip burger in oil and cook for another minute. Lift burger out of oil & place cheese slice on burger. Quickly dip & lift burger & cheese in & then out of oil. Place bun top on cheese, then hold sideways over oil & let some of the grease drip off. Place bun bottom on the burger side & put on a plate.
