Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/4 c onion, minced (add more or less onion to your taste)
pinch of thyme (optional)
pinch of rosemary (optional)
1/2 - 3/4 c undiluted canned evaporated milk
water (amount varies)

Steps:

1. Put ground beef in a large bowl. Add all other ingredients EXCEPT for the canned milk and water. Whip the mixture with hand mixer to blend well.
2. Slowly add evaporated milk, beating constantly. Add 1/4 to 1/2 water - slowly add more if mixture is too 'stiff'. ***Grandma hadn't written down the amount of water, so my amount is a 'guesstimate'. I do remember that if you make them into regular patties to put into buns they will need to be firmer than the smaller mounds.
3. When all of the liquid is absorbed, cover the bowl and let stand in the refrigertor for a few hours. - It can be cooked right away, but the texture improves upon standing.
4. Drop into small mounds (about 16) in large skillet. Brown over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through OR form into four regular patties, cooking for several minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
