More About This Recipe

  • This is truly fair food at its best. If anyone wants to open a stand at their local fair and sell these things, be my guest. You will probably make millions! Just promise me – if I show up at your stand I get a couple free ones, okay? Other than their fried awesomeness and pop-able nature, what makes them great is the caramelized onions. Deeply browned onion is actually the key to making any burger amazing. Adding them to these Fried Burger Bites makes them scream burger – instead of just being another version of meat inside bread. So the next time you're craving Fair food, try these Deep Fried Burger Bites and you won't be disappointed!
