HI.

MEAT DISHES

This is how I make it, so don't be alarmed if it's not the kind you slice”!”

Hamburger (2 or 3 pounds)
1 or 2 eggs
1 can tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes
crackers (½ - 1 pound, crushed)
1 or 2 onions (depending how many you want, or omit)
milk (about ¼ cup)

Turn on oven to 350° Take a large pan or oven-proof bowl. Mix all ingredients together in the pan (bowl). Use enough crackers so mixture is not runny; it won't be real thick, either. Put it in the oven and bake for approx. 1 hour. (It depends on how much you make, and how deep the pan is.)

Surprise Burgers

ingredients:

hamburger (enough for 2 patties/serving)
cheese (grated; mozarella, jack, cheddar)

vegetables (your choice)
examples are:

olives (chopped)
potatoes (diced)

Make 2 hamburger patties. Put a small amount of the cheese and vegetables on one of the patties. Season to taste. Take the second patty place over the top of the mixture. Pinch sides of the two patties together. Hint: Make the second (top) patty a little larger than the bottom one. Wrap with aluminum foil and bake about 1/2 hour, or until done.
