Diner-Style Burgers

Makes 8 servings

2 lbs. ground beef

1 egg, beaten

1 c. onion, finely chopped

1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

2 T. catsup

2 T. evaporated milk

1/2 c. cracker crumbs

salt and pepper to taste

1 c. all-purpose flour

2 to 3 T. oil

10-3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup

Mix together beef, egg, onion, cheese, catsup, milk, cracker crumbs, salt and pepper. Shape into 8 patties; dredge in flour. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; brown patties on both sides. Arrange patties in a slow cooker alternately with soup. Cover and cook on high setting for 3 to 4 hours.

Pick up a stack of diner-style plastic burger baskets. Lined with checked paper napkins, they’re lots of fun for serving burgers, hot dogs and fries. Don’t forget to add a pickle spear!
