Okay, my #1 food weakness in this world has got to be the amazing and delicious Galley Boy burger from the locally-operated burger chain, Swenson’s. I may be able to say “no” to many-a burger, but the Galley Boy just has a supreme power over me that I cannot deny.

Since I (unfortunately or fortunately, whichever way you look at it) do not live very close to a Swenson’s restaurant, I only am able to indulge in these burgers once I blue moon. On a whim, I did a Google search for a “copycat” recipe and found this yummy looking one, which seems pretty accurate and informative! I decided to share the recipe with you all below, because I know I’m not the only one who is obsessed with these delicious pieces of burger heaven!

Note: I do not own this recipe, nor am I affiliated with Swenson’s. No infringement is intended. Original recipe source here.

Swenson’s Galley Boy Copycat Recipe

Burger Tips:

• Mix a generous amount of brown sugar to your ground beef! And I mean generous amount! You want to make sure that your burgers aren’t too big, a 1/4 lb burger will do!
• You want to make sure you have fresh baked buns from your local deli or whatnot. Make sure you butter the buns and toast them lightly!
• Velveeta Cheese is key! Not the pre-sliced Velveeta, make sure you get the real deal Velveeta cheese block and slice it your self!
• Swenson’s Burgers are generally served with: Cheese, Vidalia Onions, Pickles & Mustard unless otherwise specified!
