I’m a big fan of shitty burgers. Like the ones you might get at a baseball game or school cafeteria. I love them so much I make them at home.


Recipe:

1 frozen burger (I buy mine from Aldi)
1 cheese
3 pickle units
1 bun(s)

Instructions: Air fry the burger for 7 minutes at 400F. Flip the burger and add salt. Cook for another 3 minutes. Assemble the burger with all ingredients. Wrap in tinfoil and place back in air fryer for 1 minute. Remove from air fryer and let sit for 1 minute. Unwrap and enjoy

    You did a good job at making a cafeteria burger for sure. Props.

    If the pattie is homemade, not shitty.

  3. kilofeet

    I like how masterfully you congealed the cheese

    My little brother is a fairly renowned chef in multiple nations (known in the industry, not a celebrity chef). I made a similar confession when we were on a road trip last month, and he told me that it’s normal. They’re loaded with fats and salt. You can make almost anything taste good as long as you have those two.

    Hell yeah, me too. Nostalgic and delicious

    A mediocre burger is the most reliable food in the world. You know exactly what you’re getting from it.

    That looks damn tasty to be honest. And I’m kind of a sucker for the “crappy” burgers too.

  13. Used-Can-6979

    This is perfect. Not my favorite type of burger but I totally get why you love them.

    I was JUST talking with a friend about how we love cafeteria burgers I am so excited to show them this

    I miss my old highschool’s burgers… it was just the right amount of hard cheese and dry meat.

  16. IceCoughy

    I have a special hole in my heart from eating those all throughout my 20s, should get that checked actually..

  18. AngryVegan94

    I feel this. I used to love making the shitty Taco Bell cheese wraps at home. There’s just something so satisfying about the simplicity. Could easily crush 5 in one sitting.

  19. MooPig48

    How about those gas station burgers they keep in the hot case?

    Love those awful things

    Ngl I love Del tacos cheeseburgers🤣

    I’m not questioning your life choices, but why air fry a burger? Unless you rarely/never clean your air fryer, it makes just as much mess as a skillet, and has more steps.

    If you clean your air fryer, I’d gladly eat one of these. I don’t see the first thing shitty about it.

  24. Ronin_1999

    This is a fine looking burger. Respect to the air fryer method and using frozen patty.

    I’m all about those meatpucks on a greasy flattop grill for maximum unhealthy.

  26. Useless890

    You’ve got an Aldi. I don’t know if there’s one in my state yet. I’m jealous.

    I MISS a shitty burger. I was diagnosed with celiac years ago. I can’t have gluten. I miss shitty burgers and fried chicken. I used to go to town on McD burger and some Popeyes spicy chicken.

  29. Altruistic-Reward754

    I loooooove shitty burgers this looks so good

  30. FairBaker315

    Ditch the pickles and add some ketchup and I’m chowing down!

    Bonus points for tater tots on the side and chocolate milk to make the school lunch complete.

  31. unclesamsinkwell

    I just make shitty burgers in my cast iron, all the time… pretty much same way. Very greasy though.

  32. goingpostal321

    I’m hooked on those burgers you get at convenience stores I don’t think they are meat but so good

  33. HayzeeMayee

    Seriously!! I work in a school and always get the cheeseburgers when they have them.. why are they so good 😭😂😂

  34. Downtown_Brother6308

    Honestly, looks solid. Simple burgers > anything with bacon or avocado added.

  35. BaranoSoup

    Looks like a good old shitty cheeseburger from a bag of burgers at Braums 🤤

  36. JonahHillsWetFart

    a soft, warm, unimpressive bun. a thinner slice of beef. american cheese. some ketchup and mustard. truly no better burger in the world to me. and pickles if you’re lucky

  37. KMFDM781

    I love shitty cafeteria burgers. Especially with no mayo or ketchup or anything on them. Just cheese. I’ve had some pretty good gas station burgers like that but nothing beats school lunch burgers.

  38. JDBerezansky

    I’m fully with you. Shitty burgers are 100% superior to fancy ones.

  39. zactotum

    Dude.

    That last step of wrapping it and leaving it in the heat to steam in its own stank is what makes it though for real.

    This was like in the movie The Menu. “I’ll make you a cheeseburger that feels like the first cheeseburger you ever ate; the cheap one your parents could barely afford”

  43. izyshoroo

    I feel this. Im usually not a big fan of grilled burgers. I like em in a pan, kinda damp, thinnish bun, not massive toasted buns that fill my mouth. I like em simple, and flavorful

  44. GayPinkGuy

    This is so personal for me, this and the tea they have in a massive jug at weddings or functions. Shit slaps so hard im chasing that high ever since i was 14 on a school trip
