Have you been to Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers?

There are 7 locations here in the Cincinnati area – some of my favorite things about Freddy’s are:

  • Frozen custard – this stuff is decadent! You can take some home or get Oreo cookie sandwiches with it packed in the middle! And don’t miss taking home a good shake on the way home!
  • They have the best hot dogs! I love their Chicago dog!
  • You can order any of their sandwiches Keto style with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. I love their chicken sandwich wrapped in lettuce!
  • Don’t forget to take home their Freddy’s Fry Sauce or their Steakburger & Fry seasoning for yourself! It’s much cheaper there than on Amazon!

How to make Freddy’s Steakburger Recipe

The easiest and best way to make a Freddy’s Burger is by using a griddle – whether it’s an indoor electric or a Blackstone. You also need a thin metal spatula to smash the edges of the burger just like they do at Freddy’s!

  • Divide beef into four 1/4 lb patties
  • Heat griddle to high heat setting
  • Add patties to the griddle and space them far apart
  • Sprinkle all burgers with Seasoning Salt
  • Smash steakburgers! On the first side, roll the spatula around the edges of the burger patties – putting pressure on the edges of the burger. You’re leaving the middle thicker. Thin edges = cripsy edge, thicker middle = juicy burger!
  • Flip the burgers and sprinkle more seasoning mixture on top.
  • Keep smashing to get those crispy edges with the back of the spatula
  • Add slice of cheese to each patty and melt for 1 minute – you can place a cookie sheet or a pan lid over top of the cheese to help it melt
  • Toast hamburger bun on the griddle for 1 minute

Burger FAQs

What seasoning does Freddy’s use for their burgers?

I saw it first hand – their special seasoning is their own Freddy’s fry seasoning – which is pretty similar to Lawry’s seasoning salt with salt, garlic salt, onion powder, sugar, paprika, turmeric & black pepper.

Is Freddy’s a smashburger?

Pretty much – yes. They taught me how to smash it all around the edges as it cooks on a griddle.

What is Freddy’s fry sauce made of?

I’ve got the Freddy’s Fry Sauce recipe! It’s a combo of mayo, ketchup, pickle juice & seasoning salt and is perfect for dipping those Freddy’s fries into!

How do you store and reheat leftover burgers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the air fryer at 250º for 4-5 minutes.
