Spongebob's Krabsburger

SpongeBob's Krabby Patty

The signature recipe from a famous cartoon character. From the name, you might expect there to be crab in it — but nope! The Krabby Patty is SpongeBob's favorite dish. He works the grill at the Krusty Krab, run by Mr. Krabs, and that's who the burger is named after.

Step 1:

Gather everything you need to make a proper SpongeBob Krabby Patty.
Step 2:

Slice the onion into rings. To take the bite out of it, cover it with 1/2 cup of boiling water and quick-pickle it with 2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar and 1 teaspoon of sugar. You can also use red onion, which is sweeter and not sharp.
Step 3:

Get the patty mixture ready. Any ground meat works — beef, or a pork-and-beef mix. This time I used pork and chicken. There's no need to add anything but salt and pepper; the mixture holds together well even without egg. Shape it into one large patty a little wider than the bun.
Step 4:

Fry the patties in a little vegetable oil for five minutes per side, until golden and crusty.
Step 5:

The bun absolutely has to be a sesame-seed bun. Cut it in half through the middle and toast both cut sides in a dry skillet.
Step 6:

Start building the Krabby Patty. In the show, the patty goes on the crispy bun first. Mine had shrunk down to about the same size as the bun.
Step 7:

Rinse a lettuce leaf under running water, pat it dry, and lay it on top of the patty.
Step 8:

Next add a slice of processed sandwich cheese. You can swap in a thin slice of regular hard cheese.
Step 9:

Add a few rings of the pickled onion (the original calls for fresh red onion, but pickled is tastier).
Step 10:

Slice the tomato into thin rounds and lay them over the onion.
Step 11:

Then squeeze on some tomato ketchup.
Step 12:

And don't forget the mustard (half a teaspoon).
Step 13:

Next up in SpongeBob's recipe are the pickles. We use gherkin pickles, sliced crosswise.
Step 14:

And finally, cap the Krabby Patty with the other half of the crispy sesame bun.
