Kansas ranks fifth in beef production, so this is a fitting recipe for our state. Our family, including the grandchildren, loves this hearty main dish. Ingredients:
4 slices bread, crumbled |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup milk |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion |
2 teaspoons dried celery flakes |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1 bottle (18 ounces) hickory smoke-flavored barbecue sauce, divided |
2 pounds lean ground beef |
12 bacon strips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Form into 12 patties. Wrap a bacon slice around the sides of each patty and secure with a toothpick. 2. Place on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; basting frequently with remaining barbecue sauce the last 30 minutes. Yield: 12 servings. |
