Hamburger

Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Hamburgers:

2 pounds ground beef, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 cup minced onions, 9-10 slices
bacon, 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese, 6 hamburger buns.

Fry bacon until crisp; crumble. Combine beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion and shape into 12 large,
thin patties. Top six patties with 1 tablespoon bacon and 1 tablespoon cheese (this is approximate-use what
looks right). Place remaining 6 patties on top of cheese/bacon topped patties and press edges to seal.
Grill or broil for 3-4 minutes per side until done. We like ours well done. The last 2 minutes of cooking top
patties with remaining bacon and cheese. Serve on buns.

Famous Meatballs:

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 1 tsp. each of oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes
and salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper and parsley, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups italian seasoned breadcrumbs with cheese.

Place the ground beef ( 7% fat is best ) in a large mixing bowl. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Then place
eggs and bread crumbs in and mix well with your hands. Then put in all spices. The best thing to do is
sprinkle them over the mixutre evenly. I made the measurements the best I could, but I have never really
measured before. I only went by my own judgement. using a broiling pan so that the grease drips down
inside of it, roll your meatballs according to size. Bake for about 20 mins, turning the meatballs half way
through.
