    In a medium bowl , gently combine ground beef *, remaining mustard, remaining Fry Seasoning, a big pinch of salt, and pepper. Form beef into two equal-size balls (four balls for 4 servings). Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add beef; firmly flatten each ball with a lightly oiled spatula to create patties, each slightly wider than a burger bun. Cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. (Don’t worry if the patties aren’t perfectly round—those irregular edges will turn crispy.)
