sunday suppers- frisco burgers

Tonight’s sunday suppers is brought to you by a frisco burger that is gluten free even though I don’t have to be anymore. Until I see a different doctor this week, then who knows what he will say.

The inspiration for these burgers comes from late night runs to Steak N Shake. Sometimes after being out and having a few drinks and wanting bad food, and sometimes just from craving fast food at 10pm on any random night. It also stems from my gluten free period when all I wanted was a big fat juicy hamburger but I couldn’t seem to find any good gluten free buns. I found some decent gluten free sliced bread at aldi, so I thought of trying to make my own version of a steak n shake frisco burger to see if that would quench my craving. It did slightly.

This frisco burger is so easy in fact that we have had it many times for a meal in a pinch. And of course you can easily just use regular sliced bread. I made these gluten free again because I still have a bunch of gluten free ingredients and items and that shit’s expensive. So even though I’m not gluten free at the moment, we’re still occasionally eating that way.

To make the sandwich, you can grill it in a skillet like a grilled cheese sandwich. Or you could use a panini press. Or you can dust off your George Foreman grill like I did because it makes a great sandwich press. Also any old toppings will do. I usually add some spinach or tomato or lettuce or whatever you want.
Frisco burger
2 slices of bread, buttered on 1 side
1 hambuger patty, cooked
1 slice of cheese (I used pepperjack)
3 pickle slices
Frisco sauce- 3 TBL thousand island dressing mixed with 1 TBL ketchup
Place 1 slice of bread-buttered side down- on your Panini press/George Foreman grill or in a skillet . Layer cheese, burger, and pickles on top. Spread 1 TBL frisco sauce on the  other slice of bread opposite the buttered side. Place bread frisco sauce side down on top of burger. Close lid of Panini press or George Foreman grill and cook until sandwich is golden in color. Alternately, cook in a skillet, press down on sandwich and flip over once golden brown and cook until done.
I threw in some frozen fries to add to the steak n shake experience.

Fast food without leaving your kitchen!
