The A&W Papa Burger Clone Recipe

1/5 pound ground chuck
1 large sesame seed bun
1 tablespoon Kraft mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Heinz hamburger relish (the red stuff)
1/4 cup chopped iceberg lettuce
2 Vlasic hamburger slices
1 slice American cheese
salt and pepper

Mix the mayonnaise with the relish to make the “secret sauce”. Set aside for now.

Preparing the Papa Burger: 1. On waxed paper, form the 1/5 pound beef patty. It should be about 1/4 inch thick and 5 inches in diameter. Freeze at least an hour.

2. Fire up the indoor electric grill, or outdoor barbecue. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for pre-heating.

3. Toast the buns by laying them face down on the grill for 30-60 seconds. (About :30 for outdoor barbecue, :60 for indoor.)

4. Cook the frozen beef patty about 2 mnutes per side, (outdoor barbecue) or 3 minutes per side (indoor barbecue grill). Salt and pepper liberally on both sides.

5. Dress your toasted top buns (crown) in the following order:

special sauce pickles lettuce cheese

6. Place the cooked beef patty on top of the dressed bun, and add the bottom. (heel)

7. Microwave about 10 seconds to warm the bun, and serve.

8. OR…wrap in a 12″x12″ sheet of foil, and warm in your oven (200°) 2-3 minutes–then serve.

The SUPER Papa Burger
