Scale:

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of uncooked bacon, about 1/2 pound
  • 3 slices soft white or wheat bread, crusts removed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup onion, diced small
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1 whole egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. In a large sauté pan, cook bacon slices about half way to done. You want at least 4 tablespoons of bacon fat reserved. The bacon will cook further in the oven so don’t cook to crisp. Reserve both the bacon and the bacon fat separately.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. In a small bowl, soak bread in the milk.
  4. Place one tablespoon of the fat back in the pan and sauté the onions over medium heat until cooked through and nicely browned. Add to bowl with the bread and milk to cool onions.
  5. In a large bowl, place ground beef, ground pork, the beaten egg, salt and pepper. Add the bread and onion mixture and mix to combine. The mixture will be somewhat loose.
  6. Divide the mixture into eight patties.
  7. Pour the bread crumbs into a plate or platter and press both sides of each patty into the crumbs pressing slightly.
  8. In the same sauté pan, heat half the remaining bacon fat over medium to medium high heat.
  9. Have a 9X13 pan or glass baking dish standing by.
  10. Place four of the coated patties into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer to the baking dish.
  11. Repeat for the remaining bacon fat and last four patties and transfer to the baking dish once browned.
  12. Cut each bacon strip in half and place two halves over each patty.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes and serve immediately.
