Instructions
- NOTE:
- Just multiply the recipe per person for the amount of burgers you want.
- If you want 6 burgers, make sure you have 6 buns, 12 patties, etc.
- Presteps:
- Heat enough oil to fry in a pan, and start heating up your grill
- Step 1:
- Hold one patty in your hand, and shape the white cheddar and american cheese into the center of the meat.
- Place the other patty on top and crimp the edges together to keep cheese and melting juices locked inside.
- Step 1a: Start cooking your burger.
- I prefer mine medium well, because I don’t like a lot of pink.
- For medium well, cook on one side for 3 minutes and the 2nd side for 6 minutes.
- Season patty with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 2: Follow your favorite homemade mac n cheese recipe or use a store bought mac n cheese to get about 3 tablespoons of prepared mac n cheese.
- Make sure it is not too juicy, as we will be frying this.
- Step 3:
- Combine 1 Cup panko with 1 Teaspoon salt, 1 Teaspoon pepper and 1 Teaspoon garlic
- Step 4: Beat 1 egg until the white and yolk are combined.
- Step 5: Form 3 Tablespoon of mac n cheese into a ball.
- Dip and roll in seasoned panko.
- Dip into egg wash.
- Dip back into panko and then place gently and carefully into hot oil to fry the ball.
- It should only take 3-5 minutes to fry your mac n cheese to a golden brown color.
- Step 6: Once your burger is cooked and the mac ball fried, assemble!
- Pretzel bun bottom, 1 tablspoon melty cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, 1 slice of cheese, burger patty, 2 tablespoons melty cheese sauce, 2 slices of cheese, fried mac ball, bun top.
- ENJOY!
