KLUPSKIES (POLISH BURGERS)

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

POLISH HAMBURGERS-MIELONE KOTLETY

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, soak bread in milk until soft. Add beef, pork, onion, egg, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. If mixture is mushy add 1 to 2 tablespoons bread crumbs.
• 2. Divide meat mixture into 4 to 6 portions and shape into round hamburger shape. Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray and very slowly fry the patties thoroughly ( because of the pork ) until done.
• 3. Brown the patties on both sides and transfer to a pan, with 2 tablespoons water or stock and bake at 325 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes.
• 4. Serve as you would a burger or like a Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce.
