The Super-Secret Secret Formula: The Krabby Patties Served At The “Krusty Krab”

Did you always think it was perverse that in “Spongebob Squarepants” crab burgers were served at “Krusty Crab”, a restaurant run by a crab? And did you still have a crazy desire to try one of them?

Well, we’re happy to announce that Eugene H. Krabs’ closely guarded secret recipe is now out in the open, and you can cook up your own burger right now! And although it’s pretty simple, it’s definitely worth all the mystery, because the result is delicious – even if it has nothing to do with crabs. We’ll show you how it’s done!

What you need

For the patties:

1 1/2 lb ground beef
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 slices of cheddar cheese

For the burger sauce:
1 c. mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

For the buns and toppings:

4 sesame seed buns, cut in half
Ketchup
Mustard
1 jar dill pickle slices
1 red onion
1 tomato
4 leaves butter lettuce

And here’s how!

Prepare the burger patties: Mix ground beef, Old Bay, pepper and salt. Put some oil in a frying pan, heat it and then add the patties.Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired doneness.

Using a large star-shaped cookie cutter, cut each cheese slice into a star shape. Place the star-shaped cheese slices on top of the burger patties during the last 30 seconds of cooking so they melt a bit. Set the burger patties aside.

Prepare “King Neptune’s Poseidon Powder Aioli”: simply whisk together mayo and Old Bay until well blended.

Prepare toppings and rolls: Spread the bottom of each bun with the Poseidon Powder Aioli. Top with a burger patty, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onion slices, tomato and lettuce. Place the top bun on top of each burger.
