MISSISSIPPI SLUGBURGER



Mississippi Slugburger image

I'm showing you my take on one of America's strangest hamburgers, and certainly the hamburger with the strangest name. But don't worry, this is 100% mollusk free. The name comes from the fact that these used to cost a nickel-and in the past, the slang term for nickel was "slug."

Categories     Hamburgers

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 slices potato bread
1 pound ground chuck
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
6 hamburger buns, split
¼ cup prepared yellow mustard, or to taste
¼ cup dill pickle slices, or to taste
1 pinch chili powder, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the crusts off the bread slices. Place slices on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until dry and toasted, about 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh citrus fruits. This will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh citrus fruits, you can use canned or frozen fruit, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the gelatin. If you overcook it, it will become tough and rubbery. To avoid this, remove the gelatin from the heat as soon as it comes to a boil.
  • Chill the salad for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set properly and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salad with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and creaminess to the salad.
