Deep Fried Hamburger Patties

I was watching Dinners Drive-ins and Dives on the food channel and I saw this dude deep frying hamburger patties so I decided to give it a try. OMG it was sooooo good. It was like a really nice chicken fried steak but cheaper and easier.

You take a good quality frozen, pre-formed one third pound hamburger patty. Something good like a 100% Angus patty and keep it frozen.

I made 5 patties to feed my family, there was no real recipe the guy just dumped stuff in. So I was just guessing on amounts.

2 cups of AP flour well seasoned
1 cup of Self Rising flour
Water


Mix enough water with the self rising flour to get a batter about like pancake batter

Quickly run the FROZEN hamburger patty under running water so the flour will stick to it---

Dip the frozen hamburger patty in the seasoned AP flour----

Then dip it in the batter that you made-----

Then dip it back into the seasoned flour pressing the flour down into the batter----

Drop the patty into hot oil (365 degrees) and fry 7 minutes, flip it over and fry it for another 7 minutes.

Make some cream gravy to go on it and you will not believe how good it is.

Wow BettyR that does sound good. I have just the patties, from Sam's Club, 1/3 pound frozen angus beef patties. Ooooh !! I love me a chicken fried steak with cream gravy. You're killing me (and any diet I had plane) but this is a KEEPER !!

Yeah, that's what I used and it turned out great. If you try it let me know what you think. We love chicken fried steak but I hate paying the $4+ per pound for cubed steak and the whole family loved these patties. I cheated on the gravy and used a packet of Pioneer Pepper Gravy mix. We love that stuff.

How did I know you were from Texas without even looking? LOL, I think we deep fry everything in this state!

LOL, yeah pretty much.

I had someone tell me they cooked bacon kinda like this, salt pepper in flour and drag the damp bacon thru it and fry like normal, they used beaten egg(s) on the bacon, because used what was left if the egg(s) as scrambled eggs.

That sounds flavorful, I would like to try this recipe but I have to go to the supermarket first.
