TANGY MEATLOAF BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Soak the onion rings in a bowl of cold water. Meanwhile, combine the meatloaf mix with the diced onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, paprika, 1 tablespoon each ketchup and duck sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Gently form into four 1-inch-thick patties; make an indentation in the center of each.
• Brush the patties with the olive oil and grill until marked on the bottom, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the remaining ketchup and duck sauce in a small bowl for brushing; set aside a few tablespoons. Turn the patties, brush with the ketchup mixture and continue grilling until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Toast the buns, if desired.
• Spread the buns with the reserved ketchup mixture. Drain the onion rings. Serve the patties on the buns; top with the onion, lettuce, tomato and pickles. Serve with sweet potato chips, if desired.

ZUCCHINI MASTER MIX FOR- MEATBALLS, BURGERS, MEATLOAF !

Steps:

• In a very large bowl (a roast pan will work too), put in onions and zucchini you prepared. Tilt the bowl by placing a folded towel under the end where the veggies are at. Add the eggs to the zucchini liquid. Beat together well. Add the spices and garlic, beat together and stir in the bread crumbs (the bread crumbs will soak up the liquid and be thick) Mix the veggies in well. (Depending on size and thickness of bread slices, you may need to add more bread). This should be about the same thickness as the meats.
• Add the two meats in and knead with your hands to blend all together well. Let this sit for five minutes.
• BURGERS: Form 14 of the size patties you like. Either cook on the outdoor grill or in a skillet. Make them into burgers on a bun the way you like them, or make Salisbury Steaks of them by making a thick gravy to go over them and serve with mashed potatoes and veggies.

Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for 45 minutes or until done to your liking. Cool and Freeze until needed. Or if serving right away, During the last 15 minutes of baking, drain the oil from the pan and pour either a large can of tomato soup or a large can of spaghetti sauce over the top of the meatloaf and return it to oven to finish baking. Serve with mashed potatoes and corn.
• *** You can make many recipes using this meat mixture. *** Sometimes when I am in a hurry, I just freeze the raw mixture in zipper bags for future use.
