Best Burgers EVER!

So I can cook pretty well when I want to. You know how it is, moms - trying to come up with meals day after day that everyone in your family will eat gets a little old. But I do okay in the kitchen. I thought I would post a recipe here and there in the blog. I know I alwasy appreciate it when someone passes along a great meal idea!

This one isn't for the vegetarians. I mean, I *suppose* you could substitute ground turkey for this one if ground beef really makes your stomach turn. I, myself, haven't had the heart to alter this one in any way. It is so good, but terribly bad for you I'm afraid!!! Once in awhile though, these burgers are a real treat!!!



It's from my Coca-Cola Cookbook. I bought this book at a Cracker Barrel in high school when I was on a date with Kevin. We have been making these scrumptious burgers since way back when! It's a good cookbook. Pretty much everything in it has coca cola products in the recipe. Coke, sprite, mello yello, etc. SO, ya. None of it is good for you. If you're looking for a healthy meal, stop reading now! LOL!

Here it is! The best darn burger you will ever make......


Coca-Cola Burgers

1 egg
1/2 cup Coca-Cola, divided
1/2 cup crushed Saltine crackers
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
6 Tbsp creamy French salad dressing, divided
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1-1/2 lbs ground beef
6 hamburgers buns, split

In a mixing bowl combine the egg, 1/4 cup of the coca-cola, cracker crumbs, onion, 2 Tbsp of the dressing, cheese and salt. Add the meat and mix well. Form into 6 patties, 3/4 inch thick. For the sauce (or for zee sauce, as Kevin always says in his fake French cooking accent), Mix remaining coca-cola and dressing. Grill the meat over medium coals about 10 minutes or to desired doneness. Turn once; baste occasionally with sauce.

Serve on buns with deli cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, mustard & pickles. Or whatever else you like, but these don't need a lot of stuff because they are insanely good! Enjoy!!
