Slug Burger (Historic Mississippi Style)
A simple, crunchy historic burger from northern Mississippi. The original "slug" burger stretches a modest amount of beef with stale‑bread breadcrumbs, giving a crisp texture and extending the meat during the Great Depression. No cheese, just a soft white bun, mustard, and pickles – exactly how it was made a century ago.
