Recipe Introduction
We all loved this! And it's hard to please all of us at the same time. I served it with mashed potatoes and corn. Good comfort food.
List of Ingredients
6 bacon strips
2 eggs -- beaten
3/4 cup crushed saltines
2 tablespoons chopped onion (I was lazy and used a slightly heaping Tbs. of dried onion)
about a Tablespoon of worchestershire sauce (my addition)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (this sounded like too much! I used a slightly heaping 1/2 tsp. kosher salt)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef (I used mostly ground sirloin and a little ground round. also used a little more than a pound)
Sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar (I used a little more--probably 3 T. or so)
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard (just used a little blob of dijon)
a couple of shakes of ground chipotle (my addition, optional)Recipe
Place bacon on a microwave-safe plate lined with microwave-safe paper towels. Cover with another paper towel; microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until cooked but not crisp.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, saltines, onion, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties. Wrap bacon strips around patties; secure with toothpicks. Place on a broiler pan. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 6 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Turn patties; top with ketchup mixture. Broil 6-7 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and bacon is crisp. Remove toothpicks before serving. Yield: 6 servings
Notes from magazine: “I found this in a local newspaper 25 years ago when I was a newlywed,” recalls Lana Maskus of Wright, Kansas. “My husband raved about, and I have served it at least once a month ever since. My daughter took the recipe with her to college and uses it frequently. These are also good when cooked on an outdoor grill,” she adds.
