Krystal Burgers on the Griddle

For a griddle recipe that replicates the classic Krystal burger, you'll need to use thinly pressed frozen beef patties and rehydrated onions, cooking them together on the flat top to create the signature steamed flavor. [1, 2, 3] 


Ingredients 

  1. 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend is recommended) 
  2. 1/2 cup dried minced onion 
  3. 1/4 cup water, or enough to rehydrate onions 
  4. 12 small slider buns or yeast dinner rolls 
  5. 12 slices American cheese 
  6. 12 dill pickle chips 
  7. Yellow mustard, to taste 
  8. Salt and pepper, to taste 
  9. Butter or oil, for the griddle [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 

InstructionsPrepare the patties 

  1. Roll the ground beef out onto a sheet of parchment paper until it's very thin, about 1/4 inch thick. 
  2. Using a pizza cutter or knife, score the beef into 12 small squares. Do not separate them. 
  3. Place the parchment paper with the scored beef onto a baking sheet and put it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the patties are firm. [1, 2] 

Rehydrate the onions 

  1. Combine the dried minced onion with water and let it sit for about 15 minutes, until the onions are fully rehydrated and plump. [3, 6, 7] 

Cook the burgers 

  1. Preheat a flat top griddle or a large skillet to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Add a little butter or oil to the surface. 
  2. Spread the rehydrated onions and their liquid evenly across the hot surface. 
  3. Place the frozen, scored beef patty sheet directly on top of the bed of onions. The onions will provide the steam as they cook. 
  4. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. 
  5. Cook for about 3 minutes, then use a large spatula to flip the entire sheet of patties. 
  6. Once flipped, lay the bottom half of the slider buns on top of the burgers. Then, place the top halves of the buns on top of those. 
  7. Cover the burgers and buns with a large lid or metal dome to trap the steam and heat. 
  8. After about 1 minute, the buns should be soft and warm. Lift the cover and remove the buns from the griddle. 
  9. Place a slice of American cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt quickly. [1, 2, 3, 6, 8] 

Assemble and serve 

  1. Place the patty with melted cheese and a spoonful of the cooked onions on the bottom half of a bun. 
  2. Add a couple of dill pickle chips and a squirt of mustard. 
  3. Place the top bun on the burger and serve immediately. [1]

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (No peas or Carrots 😳)

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie *Makes 1-3 Pies* I love a good chicken pot pie. Traditionally they aren’t particularly creamy and they usually involve a bag of frozen peas & carrot mix. However, Julie doesn’t eat either so I subbed the two veggies she does eat - green beans and corn. You can use fresh or frozen veggies. I used the the steamer bags that came with garlic butter in the bag and I used fresh local corn cobs, boiled with kernels cut. They are crisp and sweet! I added cream and cream cheese to the filling to make it extra savory for my picky eaters! I usually make & bake 1 pie, and freeze the rest of the filling for another day in a freezer bag Ingredients: (1) Rotisserie chicken picked and chopped. Place in large bowl. (1) bag green bean steamer bag w seasoning - cooked and chopped (1) bag little potatoes steamer bag w seasoning cooked and chopped (1) Vidalia onion chopped (1) yellow bell pepper chopped (2) stalks celery chopped (2) cloves garlic chopped (1) Handful fresh pou...
