Slug Burger (Historic Mississippi Style)

Recipe by First We Feast

A simple, crunchy historic burger from northern Mississippi. The original "slug" burger stretches a modest amount of beef with stale‑bread breadcrumbs, giving a crisp texture and extending the meat during the Great Depression. No cheese, just a soft white bun, mustard, and pickles – exactly how it was made a century ago.

Critical Success Points

  • Forming the patty without over‑mixing
  • Cooking to an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure safety and proper crisping of breadcrumbs
  • Using a hot pan so the breadcrumbs become crunchy rather than soggy

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause burns – use a splatter guard if needed
  • Ensure ground beef reaches 160°F (71°C) to destroy harmful bacteria
