Dyer’s Burgers on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennesse have been in business since 1912, and they have never changed their recipe for their iconic burger. When I found this recipe for this delicious old-style burger by Guga Foods, on YouTube, I had to try it! This lovely vintage hamburger recipe is deep fried in beef tallow because in the old days when the hamburger was first made the owner of Dyer’s did not have a flat griddle so he used his cast-iron skillet to make all the burgers of the day in the skillet. What happened was that the skillet gets full of natural beef tallow, and that is the natural grease that the new burgers are submerged in. I have to say this method of cooking a burger makes the best burger you will ever taste.

Ingredients For The Vintage Memphis Fried Burger Recipe:

• Ground beef (80% lean works best)
• A jar of natural beef tallow
• A cast-iron skillet
• Cheese slices
• Onions (sliced)
• Mustard
• Pickles (your favorite kind)
• Hamburger buns
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In this recipe for this delicious old-style burger by Guga Foods, on YouTube, you will learn how to make these delicious burgers just like Dyer’s on historic Beale Street in Memphis.

The burger fixings for this vintage burger are the same as many old-school burger recipes that I have tried in old Texas hamburger recipes. You just add the mustard, sliced onion, and pickles.

This recipe is so delicious, I really love these old-school burgers, they are like many old local Texas old joint burgers that I have had, and they are all totally delicious.
