How To Make Crunchburger Recipe?

1. Make Patties: Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a 2cm thick patty and make a thumbprint in the center. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Patties: Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Cook beef patties for 3 minutes on one side, then flip. Cook beef for 4 minutes on the other side (or 3 minutes if adding cheese). For turkey, cook for 5 minutes on each side.
3. Add Cheese: Add cheese during the last minute of cooking. Cover to melt.
4. Assemble: Place the patties on buns. Add tomato, lettuce, onion, and horseradish mayo, if desired. Top with chips and close with the bun top. Serve immediately.
5. Mix Ingredients: Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and horseradish. Add salt and pepper.
6. Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Recipe Tips:

• Don’t Overwork the Meat: When forming the patties, handle the meat gently to keep them tender and juicy.
• Make a Thumbprint in the Center: Press your thumb in the middle of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
• Use High Heat for a Crispy Finish: Cook the patties on high heat to get a golden, crispy outside while keeping the inside juicy.
• Top with Cheese at the Last Minute: Add cheese during the final minute of cooking so it melts perfectly without overcooking the patty.
• Toast the Buns for Extra Crunch: Lightly toast your buns to add an extra layer of texture and flavor.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Crunchburgers cool to room temperature. Then, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freeze: Freeze the cooked patties for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are hot.
