Klupskies (Polish Burgers)

This Polish burger recipe is a family favorite that was passed down over the generations. Grandma and Pap just ate them plain, with a fork (sometimes dipped in ketchup), but our family likes to top these burgers with cheese and serve on a hamburger bun in a traditional way. I have also seen these referred to as Kotlety Mielone. These can be cooked on the grill.

Step 1

Mix ground beef, onion, green pepper, egg, ketchup, and sea salt together in a bowl; mix in white bread pieces until evenly distributed. Form the mixture into 4 patties.

Step 2
