Eastern European Kotlety image

While growing up, my Polish-Russian grandmother, who lived with our family, made these little meat patties quite often and they were a family favorite. Here is my rendition, from what I remember when cooking with Grandma, as she never wrote the recipe down. The patties were always served with mashed potatoes, green beans, applesauce, and, of course, plenty of ketchup for the patties.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ⅓ pounds lean ground beef
⅔ cup milk cracker crumbs
1 small sweet yellow onion, minced
1 egg, well beaten
