Ingredients
  • ½ cup Southern Comfort
  • 2 quarts oil for frying
  • 3 large green tomatoes
  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • Your choice of burger toppings (I went with lettuce, bacon and tomato)
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375°F.
  2. Slice tomatoes into ½" thick slices and discard the ends. You'll need a total of 12 tomato slices to make 6 burgers.
  3. Set up a dredging station with three bowls — 1 cup flour flour in the first one, 2 eggs and ½ cup milk in the second one and ½ cup cornmeal, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in the third one.
  4. Fry for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
  5. To make the whiskey glaze combine ¼ cup Southern Comfort and 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add ¼ cup ketchup, ¼ tablespoon garlic powder and ¼ tablespoon onion powder and whisk to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until glaze has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Divide ground beef into 6 equal sized patties, season with salt and pepper and grill until they reach your desired level of doneness, but brush them with the whiskey glaze for the final couple minutes on the grill.
  7. To make the whiskey cheese sauce melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons flour and whisk until golden in color. Add ¼ cup Southern Comfort and ¾ cup milk and reduce heat to low. Slowly add in 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese and continue stirring until the sauce is smooth. If you'd like a thicker sauce add more flour (1 tablespoon at a time) and if you'd like a thinner sauce add more milk (1 tablespoon at a time).
  8. Assemble your burgers by taking one fried green tomato and topping it with a burger, your choice of toppings, whiskey cheese sauce and finally a second fried green tomato.
