Mini Vikings

Deep Fried Pickle Spears

Stadium Crispy Green Beans

Method

Mini Vikings Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form Mini Vikings

    Shape the mixture into small oval patties, about 1.5 inches in length. You should have around 2 mini Vikings.

  3. 3

    Cook

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mini Vikings to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Deep Fried Pickle Spears Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Pickles

    Pat the dill pickle spears dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 5

    Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt.

  3. 6

    Coat Pickles

    Dip each pickle spear into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat them thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 7

    Fry Pickles

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded pickle spears in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Stadium Crispy Green Beans Preparation

    Prepare Green Beans

    Wash and trim the ends of the fresh green beans.

  2. 9

  3. 10

    Coat Green Beans

    Dip each green bean in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat them with the cornmeal mixture.

  4. 11
