I CREATED this recipe and won a red ribbon for it in a 1976 cookbook contest. It's like meat loaf in a bun, so it's very hearty. Sometimes I'll serve it with gravy and without the bun. When I prepared this for dinner, I always felt my family was well fed. -Bernadine Dirmeyer, Harpster, Ohio Ingredients:
2 large carrots, grated |
1 large onion, grated |
1 cup mashed potato flakes |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon salt |
pepper to taste |
2 pounds ground beef |
8 bacon strips |
8 lettuce leaves, optional |
8 hamburger buns, split, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix gently. Shape into eight patties. Wrap a bacon strip around each patty; secure with toothpicks.
2. In a large skillet, cook burgers until meat is no longer pink and bacon is crisp. Remove toothpicks. Serve on lettuce-lined buns if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
