Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup milk ( I use skim with good results)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 eggs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 small onions, minced
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon ketchup
salt and pepper
6 hamburger buns
shoestring potatoes ( Papitas Fritas)
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine milk and breadcrumbs. Let sit for a moment or two for the crumbs to absorb the milk.
In a larger bowl, mix together the beef, egg, paprika, onion, garlic, lime juice, ketchup and the bread crumb/milk mixture.
Make sure it is well combined and then cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors come together. I left it for about 24 hours with good results.
Form into patties and either fry in a little olive oil or grill over hot coals (they will stick to your grill so oil well). They should be cooked through, not rare (as I usually like it). We grilled them (1/2 lb burgers) for about 5-6 minutes per side.
Serve them on buns and top with the shoestring potatoes if desired along with a little more ketchup.
