Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, drained)
- 1 tbsp cornmeal
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 brioche buns, sliced
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Fried corn kernels (as needed)
- pickles and ketchup for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, corn kernels, cornmeal, egg yolk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
- Form into two evenly sized patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar and cover to melt.
- Lightly toast the brioche buns in the same pan or toaster.
- Assemble burgers: bottom bun → ketchup → patty with cheese → fried corn → pickles → top bun.
- Serve with corn-on-the-cob and extra ketchup on the side.
Notes
- For extra crunch, air-fry corn kernels at 400°F for 6–8 minutes before using.
- Buns can be brushed with melted butter and toasted for added richness.
- Avg. child-friendly serving size: 1 burger, or halve for picky eaters.
