These burgers are like having burger and French fry in one bite! For those of you out there looking for a unique recipe, this one certainly fits the bill. A lot of unique recipes are great, but they either take forever to make or they put a real strain on your wallet with a long list of ingredients.
This recipe does neither. You can easily acquire all of the needed ingredients for this recipe without having to add a large amount on to your weekly grocery budget. Plus, this recipe is quick to make. You should be able to have this recipe finished in around 30 minutes.
We recommend serving corn on the cob with these burgers. Aside from French fries, corn on the cob is a classic side for burgers. We list frozen corn on the cob in the ingredients list because we recognize that fresh corn on the cob is not always available. This is a recipe that you can make at any time of the year, so we want the side dish to reflect that.
That being said, feel free to use fresh corn on the cob instead if you have access to it. Nothing beats fresh produce! Cooking fresh corn on the cob may add extra time in the kitchen, but the end result will definitely be worth it. This is a dinner your family will want again and again!
