Fatburger Original Burger Recipes

HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE FATBURGER

Steps:

• Butter your bun on both half and toast in a pan. This is not done at Fatburger but I like it this way so that's what I do.
• Place the two buns side by side and spread the mayonnaise on the top bun.
• Carefully top the mayonnaise with the shredded lettuce. It has to all sit on top.
• Now heat your grill or pan so that it is as hot as you can get it.
• Place the meat discs on the grill and smash them with a large flat spatula.
• Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Fry for about two minutes and then flip the patties over.
• Season again with salt and pepper and then top each patty with a slice of American cheese.
• When the cheese melts down the side of the patties, your burger will be about medium rare.
• Place one patty with the cheese side down on the bottom bun. Then top with the other patty, again cheese side down.
• Squirt with French's yellow mustard and cover with pickle relish and onions.
• Carefully bring the two halves together and enjoy.

FATBURGER

Steps:

• Diced onions, relish, mustard, ketchup, sliced pickles, sliced tomatoes and shredded lettuce, for topping
• Preheat a grill to medium and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Season the beef with salt and pepper and form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties; make a small indentation in the top of each patty using your finger or a small spoon.
• Grill the burgers about 6 minutes per side for medium well. Top each with a slice of cheese and let melt, about 2 more minutes. Meanwhile, lightly toast the buns on the grill.
• Serve the burgers cheese-side down on the buns; top with onions, relish, mustard, ketchup, pickles, tomatoes and lettuce.

SMASH BURGERS

Steps:

• Place a 9-in. cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, gently shape beef into 4 balls, shaping just enough to keep together (do not compact). , Increase burner temperature to medium-high; add oil. Working in batches, add beef. With a heavy metal spatula, flatten to 1/4- to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle each with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until edges start to brown, about 1-1/2 minutes. Turn burgers and sprinkle with additional 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until well browned and a thermometer reads at least 160°, 1 minute. Repeat with remaining beef., Serve burgers on buns with toppings as desired.
