Burger Ingredients
- 2 lb. hamburger
- 1 c. saltine cracker crumbs about 28 crackers

Instructions
Burger Preparation
- Mix the cracker crumbs, milk, onion, and seasonings. Add the burger and mix to combine.
- Shape the meat mixture into thick burger patties. It makes eight.
- Roll the patties in flour.
Cooking Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet. Fry the patties over medium/high heat for a few minutes on each side to give them a nice sear.
- Place the browned patties into a 9 x 13" baking dish.
- Mix cream of mushroom soup and milk. Pour over the patties.
- Bake, covered, at 350° for 50 - 55 minutes. Remove cover and continue baking for another 10 minutes.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles.
Notes
I place the crackers into a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You can use one or two cans of mushroom soup, depending on how much gravy you want. I usually use only one can. If you prefer, you can substitute the milk for water in the gravy.
