Burger

Crab Dip

Seasoned Fries

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patty

    In a mixing bowl, take the ground beef and shape it into a round patty that is about ¾ inch thick. Season both sides of the patty with 1 tsp of Old Bay seasoning.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cover it to melt the cheese.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, cut the brioche bun in half and lightly toast it in the same skillet or on the grill until golden brown.

Crab Dip Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Dip

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped green onions, and 1 tsp of Old Bay seasoning. Stir until well mixed and creamy.

  2. 5

    Chill the Dip

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Fries

    Prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions, typically baking them in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes or frying them until golden and crispy.

  2. 7

    Season the Fries

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with 1 tsp of Old Bay seasoning, tossing to coat evenly.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Crabby Patty

    On the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun, place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Top it with a generous scoop of the homemade crab dip and then place the top half of the bun over it.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Crabby Patty with a side of seasoned fries for a delicious meal.
