Chicken Fried Cheese Burgers, yep, you read that right!  When your average, run of the mill cheeseburger just won’t do, kick it up a notch and chicken fry it.  Sometimes you have to go hard, right?  Now, we don’t do this often, but at times it’s just necessary to fry something.  Suddenly my favorite lines from Sweet Home Alabama are running through my head.  🙂  My Mom made these fabulous burgers in her kitchen.  Sometimes she even smothered them in her famous gravy.  It doesn’t get much better!  Try them and see!  Now, you’ll have to excuse me.  I feel my day will not be complete if I don’t turn on Sweet Home Alabama and, of course, fry something!  🙂  I hope your day is wonderful!

Chicken Fried Cheese Burgers

Ingredients for 4 burgers:

1 pound ground beef
Your favorite burger seasonings
(I use salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and seasoned salt or creole seasoning)
Flour for dredging
Milk
Egg
Oil for frying
Sliced cheese
Hamburger buns
All your favorite burger toppings

Instructions:

Add oil to a skillet and set temperature to medium heat.  I use an electric skillet set to 350 degrees.  Now, do be careful.  The oil becomes quite hot.

Add ground beef and seasonings to a bowl and use your hands to mash until well combined.  Form patties and set aside.

Add flour to a bowl.  To a separate bowl, add milk, egg, salt and pepper and mix with a fork until egg is broken and ingredients are well combined.

For dredging:  Take one hamburger patty at a time and dip into milk until completely coated, then remove.  Lay patty into bowl of flour and, sort of, toss the flour over it until completely coated on both sides, then remove.  Repeat, once more, by placing back into milk mixture and then into flour.

Very carefully place dredged hamburger patty into hot oil.  Fry until each side is golden brown – about 3-5 minutes per side.  Remove from oil and place on plate lined with a paper towel.  Immediately place sliced cheese on each patty and it will melt to perfection.  Serve on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings or slathered in your Mom’s famous gravy!  Either way will be a lot of chicken fried wonderful!  I promise!  Enjoy!
