Prep Time: 15 minutes - Cook Time: 10 minutes - Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 egg
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp 1000 Island dressing [mayo and ketchup]
1 tsp ketchup
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp ground onion
Soak bread crumbs in milk and mix all ingredients well. Shape into
small balls, place in refrigerator for about 2 hours to let the meat
marinate with other ingredients. Lightly grease grill or frying pan.
Fry meat, press to shape like hamburgers. Serve in hamburger buns.
Serving tip: For better results, cut the bun with a large round
cookie cutter, spread with ketchup, sprinkle with chopped onions if
desired, serve with shoestring potatoes. Fritas were very popular in
Cuba and were sold at little stands like hot dog stands in the
United States.
