Ingredients
Making krabby patties is somewhat of an art form, and you'll want to make sure you use every single one to make this secret recipe.
Here's what you'll need to make the perfect krabby patty burger:
- 1.25lb. lean ground beef
- 1 ½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
For the Aioli, or secret sauce:
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¾ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
And to complete the krabby patties:
- 4 burger buns with sesame seeds
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 pickles, sliced
- 4 leaves of butter lettuce
- Mustard and ketchup, as desired
How To Make A Krabby Patty
1. Make the aioli. Combine the mayonnaise with Old Bay Seasoning in a small bowl. Once they're fully mixed, set the sauce aside.
2. Make the patties. In a large bowl, add the ground beef, Old Bay Seasoning, and salt. Mix thoroughly until everything combines, then shape the mixture into four burger patties.
3. Cook the krabby patties. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until they're cooked through.
4. Cut out the cheese. After the patties are cooked through, using a star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the cheese. Place the cheese stars on top of the hot patties and let the cheese melt for 30 seconds.
5. Assemble the krabby patties. Spread the aioli from the first step over the bottom half of the buns. Place the hamburgers on top, followed by lettuce, onions, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, and pickles. Close it with the top bun, serve, and enjoy!
Tips To Make The Best Recipe
- To mix the burger, you can use your hands to thoroughly mix or a large kitchen spoon. I like to use my hands with gloves on because I can really mix the seasonings into the meat.
- A true krabby patty has star-shaped cheese, but of course, you can always just use a square slice of cheese.
- The seasoned aioli is one of the best parts of this krabby patty recipe, but you can also use tartar sauce or just plain mayonnaise instead.
- Add some hot sauce to the secret sauce recipe if you want to add a little spice to the burger.
