For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of ground beef and ground pork. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties to achieve a good sear. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, tender green beans, sweet applesauce, and a generous dollop of ketchup for a classic Eastern European experience.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, cracker crumbs, minced onion, beaten egg, milk, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until just evenly blended, being careful not to overmix. Shape the mixture into twelve uniform 3-inch patties, approximately 1 1/4-inch thick. (Approximately 15 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Heat the vegetable shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the patties until a beautiful golden brown crust forms on each side, about 2 minutes per side. (Approximately 4 minutes)
03 Step
