A Doozie of a Floozie Burger
"A burger to tempt your senses--from clear down south--you never had it so good! One taste of our burger and you're going to declare yourself an Honorary Floozie. The ultimate open-faced burger, but don't hesitate to put your top bun on if you're feeling a little shy (we didn't get the nickname Floozie for nuthin' ya know!)."

- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 13
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup sweet onions or 1/3 cup vidalia onion, is best
- 1⁄3 cup dill pickle
- 1⁄2 - 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups finely chopped lettuce
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 8 slices tomatoes
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, sauteed in
- butter
- 8 slices cheese
- 8 fried eggs (One for each burger)
- 4 -8 hamburger buns (if you're a floozie, you only need 4)
directions
- Mix together your sweet onion, dill pickle, mayonnaise and finely chopped lettuce and set aside (In Amy's words, "you want the ingredients to marry").
- Fry your eggs until no longer runny and set aside. (Very Important Ingredient) You do want the whole Floozie Experience don't you?.
- Mix together your ground beef, cajun seasoning and pepper, forming into 8 burgers.
- Fry your burgers until they are no longer pink inside. Set aside and place a slice of tomato on top.
- Saute your mushrooms in butter and portion out onto your burgers and immediately top with cheese and your Fried Egg.
- Top with the slaw toppings (*in memory of Amy*) then declare yourself a Floozie – Remember, this is a topless…ummm…open faced burger. I ask you -- would a Floozie want it any other way?.
- We can't help it if you want your extra bun on top, but take it from us, its a whole lot more fun without.

What kind of “slaw” are you talking about? How do you make it?

Allright, ya floozies! We tried your burger here in Texas, and we even went topless, though you know that ain't right. We liked ALL them flavors, the cajun spiced burger especially, but we thought that it was a tall order, even for Texas where everything's BIG! Though we loved the taste of the simple slaw, we thought it tasted best on the side of that towering mass y'all call a burger, especially since ya ain't got a top bun to hold'er down. (Seriously, though - great burger, the fried egg surprised us by being really tasty, next time, we'll put the slaw on the side.) Good job, ya FLOOZIES! From one of Z-Best Chefs. :) -
Made recipe as written... excellent! Have fork and knife ready and enjoy! -
These were great!!! And different. We grilled the burgers instead of frying. I wasn't shy with the cajun spice since we like it spicy and we used Cheddar for the cheese. The slaw is what put these over the top for us. I had the fried egg, but my boys just couldn't do it. As another reviewer said they were messy but good, cuz messy = yummy in our house. We are definately Floozies in our house now!!!!!

Yep, Another Texan here fixin the Doozie Floozie Burger. DH-DD & I all say Yee~Hawwwwwww! Didn't think we would like the "slaw" but we did! I used fresh premade ground chuck patties since there were only 3 of us. I sprinkled them liberally with cajun spice. I used the sweet onions, dill pickle and butterhead lettuce all sliced or chopped pretty fine. I tried mine without the bun top but caved in and placed it on top but ate with a fork & knife cuz it was so messy. Messy is good! I bought big mushrooms and sauteed them in butter. And our burgers must always have real cheddar cheese, nothing else will do. heh heh! We loved it & will fix it again. From a Hot Plate Houdini Cooked for ZWT3 -
I served this delicious burger at a father's day BBQ i hosted for all the fathers in my life. It was great! Everyone raved about it uniqueness and flavor. I am impressed by a bunch of Floozies!! Great job on this recipe ladies. Kudos.

Wonderful! My husband loved the different textures. I ended up making a skinny floozie. I substituted just about everything. I used 1/2 c non-fat plain yogurt with a tablespoon of mayo instead of mayo, 1 lb of turkey instead of beef, I used EV olive oil instead of butter and 1 egg beater with a little water instead of the fried egg. I actually ended up using Wonder light buns instead of the fuller (fatter) buns. It was wonderful and I'm planning to do this one again! -
Very good! I was only cooking for 2, so I made a quarter of the recipe. Instead of using cajun seasoning, I used seasoned salt, pepper, and a little bit of cayenne. The burger was very creamy, due to the slaw, egg and cheese, with the bite of dill pickle and onion. We enjoyed it. Made for ZWT III.
