This Crab Rangoon Surf and Turf Burger is a decadent twist on classic burgers, featuring a beef patty topped with creamy crab Rangoon filling, crispy wontons, and a tangy sweet chili glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 8 small wonton wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • 4 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • Lettuce or arugula, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Form beef into 4 patties, season with salt and pepper, and cook until desired doneness. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  3. Fry wonton wrappers in hot oil until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Lightly toast the burger buns.
  5. Assemble: Spread crab Rangoon mixture on the bottom bun, add burger patty, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, top with crispy wonton and greens if using. Add the top bun.
  6. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use real crab meat for best flavor, but imitation crab can work too.
  • The crab Rangoon mixture can be made ahead of time.
  • Air-fry wontons for a lighter option.
