When I went to high school in Lander, WY. There was a burger place across from the high school. They sold what were called either cheesewheels or cartwheels. They were a hamburger patty and slice of cheese that was dipped in batter and then deep fat fried. Would anyone have a recipe like that?
I found this on food.yahoo.com How-To: Deep-Fried Cheese-Stuffed Cheeseburgers Equipment
Deep-fryer (or a stockpot with boil basket ) Deep-fry or candy thermometer (preferably one that clips on to side of pot) Meat thermometer Ingredients
1 lb. hamburger 1 to 2 sticks mozzarella string cheese, cut into small pieces Packaged beer-batter mix A neutral-flavored oil, for frying (safflower oil, peanut oil, or vegetable shortening work well) Your favorite hamburger bun The cheese of your choice The condiments of your choice Procedure
1. Form two equal-size patties, making an indentation in the center of one to hold the cheese. Place the cheese in the indentation of the bottom patty, cover with the top patty, and crimp the edges tightly to seal. Make sure seal is tight so cheese does not leak out.
2. Place oil in your deep-fryer, and allow it to come to frying temperature. If you don't have a deep-fryer, use a stockpot with a boil basket, along with a deep-fry thermometer that clips to the side. Heat oil over high heat to 365°F. (Note: Depending on the oil, it will begin to burn between 400 and 450°F and will catch fire around 500°F. So be very careful to monitor temperature.) Once the oil reaches 365°F, reduce heat to low and monitor temperature, keeping oil at 365°F.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the beer-batter mix according to package instructions. Dredge patty in mix. Place patty in boil basket and lower gently into hot oil. Cook until patty's internal temperature registers 160°F on a meat thermometer.
4. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels. Serve on bun, topped with the cheese and condiments of your choice. (Note: Be careful not to bite into this too soon after cooking. The molten cheese could deliver quite a scalding.) Is this what you were looking for? Penny
