European Recipe ∶ Klupskies (Polish Burgers)

This recipe is a family favorite that was passed down over the generations. Grandma and Pap just ate them plain, with a fork (sometimes dipped in ketchup), but our family likes to top these burgers with cheese and serve on a hamburger bun in a the traditional way. I have also seen these referred to as Kotlety Mielone. These can also be cooked on the grill.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• ½ green pepper, diced
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
• 1 serving cooking spray with olive oil

Cooking Directions

1. Mix ground beef, onion, green pepper, egg, ketchup, and sea salt together in a bowl; mix in the white bread pieces until evenly distributed. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
2. Spray a large skillet with olive oil cooking spray and set over medium heat. Cook the burgers until well-browned on the bottoms, about 10 minutes; flip the burgers and cook until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 more minutes.
