Fried Green Tomato and Gouda Cheeseburger: A Southern Twist on a Classic Burger

Season the meat with spice given in recipe and form into patties. Then grill, smoke, bake or fry the beef patties. Wash, dry, slice green tomatoes. Prepare the milk & egg mixture and the cornmeal, flour, and spice mixture. Dip tomato slices into milk and egg mixture and then into dry cornmeal and flour. Cover well, and let sit for 10 minutes before placing in hot oil. Turn tomatoes and fry until golden brown, remove and place onto paper towels. Butter and toast buns if desired and then begin to build burger. Re-heat in microwave if needed. Enjoy!
