During World War II, when meat was rationed and had to be purchased with tokens, this recipe went a long way in feeding a family. To this day, I still reach for it whenever I want something different from regular hamburgers. By the way, children really like these (just as I did when I was a child!). Gladys Klein, Burlington Wisconsin Ingredients:
3/4 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) |
3/4 cup finely shredded potatoes |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper |
1 egg, beaten |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 cup tomato juice |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine beef, potatoes, onion, green pepper, egg and salt. Shape into four flat patties.
2. Heat oil in a skillet. Brown the patties on both sides; drain. Add tomato juice. Simmer 20-25 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Remove patties to a serving platter; keep warm.
3. Combine flour and water; gradually add to juice in the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Spoon over patties. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
