Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup chopped onion
  • 3 slices bread
  • 1¼ cup milk
  • ½ lb ground beef
  • ½ lb ground pork
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ cup diced green chiles
  • oil (I used olive oil)
  • flour
  • butter
  • mayonnaise
  • dill, parsley, tomato for garnish if desired
Instructions
  1. Pour 1-2 tbsp oil into skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and the onions. Sautee until soft & translucent. Set aside.
  2. Tear or cut bread into big pieces, place in a bowl, pour on milk, and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix beef, pork, eggs, salt and pepper.
  4. Make sure bread is soaked with milk, grab the bread, squeeze out excess milk and dump bread in the bowl of meat. Blend in green chiles. Throw out milk or drink it if you're into that.
  5. Shape the meat into patties ½ to 1 inch thick. It should make about 6.
  6. Sprinkle about ¼ cup flour on a cutting board and coat each patty with flour.
  7. In a very large skillet, pour about 2 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter in. Over medium heat, fry meat patty up on both sides until cooked to desired doneness. It helps to have a lid on the skillet most of the time.
  8. Serve 1 per plate, spread 1-2 tbsp mayonnaise on top and sprinkle with dill or parsely. Garnish with anything else you'd like such as onion or diced tomato.
  9. Enjoy! Remember - it's true love in food form!
