Beef Bundles with Pickled Centers


1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup potato flakes
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 dill pickle spears, 1/2-inch wide
1/4 cup (1-ounce) Cheddar cheese, shredded
Ketchup
Hamburger buns, optional

Preheat the broiler. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, potato flakes, milk, celery, onion and salt. Mix just until all ingredients are blended. Do not over mix. Divide the meat mixture into 4 portions. Wrap each portion around 2 pickle spears, allowing the pickle to peek out each end slightly. Broil the meat bundles for 12 to 15 minutes, turning about halfway through cooking time. While the bundles are still hot, sprinkle with the cheese to melt. Serve hot with ketchup on hamburger buns, if desired.
