I have been making this recipe shortly after my husband and I started dating, almost 20 years ago. He wanted something different, using ground beef, and in searching many of my cookbooks, he came up with this recipe, I had reservations at first, but made it anyway, it was so good, that he requested it again soon after the first...

1/4 c chopped onion
1/4 c raisins,optional
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb lean ground beef
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp vinegar
2 Tbsp water
1 tsp prepared mustard
dash of pepper
hot cooked noodles, rice or mashed potatoes

Steps:

1. These are the ingredients needed to make this tasty recipe. This picture is compliments of our Just a Pinch Member Wiley P. Thanks again Wiley.
2. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crushed gingersnaps. Combine remaining crushed gingersnaps, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce, onions, raisins & salt. Add meat; mix well. Shape into 4 1/2 inch thick patties.
3. Brown in skillet: Drain off fat. Combine remaining tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar, water, mustard, and pepper. Pour over burgers. Cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, spooning sauce over meat. Remove burgers. Stir in reserved 2 tablespoons gingersnaps into sauce in skillet. Cook & stir until bubbly. Return burgers to skillet. Heat through. Serve with noodles, rice or potatoes.
4. This recipe is so good that I always double the recipe when ever I make it, and there are never any left overs. Also note I also plump my raisins in microwave for about 5 minutes, by covering them with water and heating in microwave for 5 minutes, then let them sit, and drain the water off,and then add them to the meat mixture. This adds extra moisture & slight sweet flavor to the patties. Picture is compliments of Wiley P.

Tips:

To achieve the best flavor, marinate the beef for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
If you don't have time to marinate the beef, you can still make these burgers. Just be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they don't dry out.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare burgers, cook to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium burgers, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done burgers, cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
You can also make these burgers into sliders. Simply divide the beef mixture into smaller patties and cook them for a shorter amount of time.

Conclusion:

Sauerbraten burgers are a delicious and unique twist on the classic hamburger. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual dinner party. With their bold flavor and juicy texture, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give sauerbraten burgers a try.
