Called my Mom and she steered me in the right direction. This is the only recipe I "splurge" and use lard. Our recipe also called for old-fashioned white bread instead of bread crumbs.

To do it right.... I would ask my mom to make koklety... with my ground moose meat... She would add some bulki (buns) that were soaked in milk, chopped onions, eggs as a binder, some salt and pepper. ... mix all that up by hand... form a generous fat patty... roll that in flour... them u smazycz (fry) them in a pan... in szmalec (bacon fat) ... To die for.... best moose burgers ever.... !!!!

Mom made very similar.... she called them Botchkas Brown mushroom gravy On mashed potatoes Side of sweet sour crispy red cabbage Later same night snitch a cold one outa the frig Heaven on earth

In Illinois, we call this recipe Polish Hamburgers. I coat the patties in flour before browning them.

I'm from Poland, everything is fine in general. I do it this way: I grind the meat, add a little salt and pepper, add a whole egg, but instead of boiled carrots, I add a dry roll soaked in milk, squeeze out the milk and add it to the meat. Beforehand, I fry half of the finely chopped onion until it is soft. It all needs to be mixed well. I grind dry bread early and coat the meatballs in breadcrumbs. They become dark brown in color

Ended up at the market tonight and made individual pan-fried meatloaves last minute. Sooooo Good. My grandmother and mother always made these. No mushroom sauce. Meatloaves browned crispy with ketchup on the side. 1 lb sirloin, 1lb pork, 1 sweet onion minced, 1 piece bread diced, 1 egg, 1 envelope dry onion soup mix, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, Sprinkle of Lawry’s seasoning salt I think I need to make these every week.......yum

I grow up with this dish. Mushroom sauce is the best with it. It’s a family favorite.

I just love the casual back and forth between you and the camera guy (ha ha)

Your videos make me so hungry. I'm not Polish but I love your food.

I am originally from Chicago, Illinois and my grandmother and mom would also call them Polish Hamburgers. Oh boy, they were so delicious! They would only use fresh ground pork purchased from a Polish Market. They would not use the carrots nor would they fry the onion. They would dice up onion small and chopped parsley and add it to the pork along with one egg and create a paste with one clove of garlic and salt. My great grandmother learned a secret from a French chef to mince the garlic this way. Slice and chop garlic on the cutting board. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and place on top of garlic and use a butter knife to make a paste with the garlic and salt. Add pepper and more salt if needed. Careful with the salt! This would also be added then to the pork. They would use their hand to mix all it up but the heat from your hand would effect the taste of your hamburgers. They then started using a spoon or fork and mix but do not over mix. Form into rounded patties and then they coated each side in breadcrumbs. They would fry and brown each side in pork grease (Not Bacon Grease) To make the pork grease they would cut the fat off around pork chops, dice it up into small cubes and then fry up. This would make the grease to use to fry up your Polish hamburgers. This recipe was passed down and is one Polish dish I have down packed as it was a favorite meal and made often. Now I am so hungry just writing about them that I will make them for tomorrow’s dinner. 😊❤️😊❤️

I am Italian and German Jewish. We call these gravy burgers. It has been a favorite in our family for more than 100 years. Many times, my mother would slice up onions with the mushrooms and make them both part of the gravy. Yum.

This reminded me of some little ground beef Pattie’s my late mom used to make. Thank you for the memory

I haven't thought about these in decades. They were one of my dad's favorite dinners. Thanks for bring them back. Bonus: got to see Lucy!

I love your channel my husband is Czechoslovakian, and a lot of the recipes that you’re making are very similar to what his grandmother made, and have taught me a few of them but I appreciate your website because now I have made many of your recipes, which again are very similar to many that his grandmother made thank you very much

We call these polish burgers. My grown children love them. Mom made them all the time. Mom passed away in September and we havent had them in a long time absolutely delicious

Yay! Welcome back! So happy you're both feeling better. And sweet Lucy politely checking the pan for her portion was a bonus. Polish Salisbury steak! Yum!

Babcia makes these for our boys... their favorite!

They are just like our German Bulletin ,we eat in Germany 🇩🇪 .I put the meat in the oven to finish . I fix the gravy while the meat is cooking in the oven then I ad it to the gravy .I never ad the half raw burgers to the gravy

I just found you recently on you tube. Sorry for the late comment but maybe will help your channel. I am half Hungarian. We have this regularly with mashed potatoes, peas and salad. Now I make it for my grandson and he loves it too. I didn’t know it was a Polish dish. I can smell it and it brings loving memories to mind. Thank you!🌸V

You're tips and tricks are so helpful!!! I wasn't interested in learning how to cook as a teenager, so it's been by trial and (much) error. I've never heard of these tips before, so thank you!

This pretty much how I make my salisbury steaks :-) Yummy

I make this a lot. I had no idea that it had Polish roots. Smaczne!

My mom called these hamburgers and gravy when we were growing up. My mom used Campbell’s mushroom soup to make the sauce. I don’t like Campbell’s soup because they make it with MSG. So glad to see how you make it. I’m making it for my family soon!

Put a dash of Worcestershire sauce and Lipton onion soup mix in there and you've got Salisbury steak!! Has your sense of taste come back all the way yet? My sister's took months to return. Looks absolutely delicious!! Good to see everyone is back on their feet again! Did your daughter get sick? Thanks for the recipe! Take care! Be well!

These are delicious. Boiled or mash potatoes, meal for the Queen and King. (Notice Queen first) Beef and Pork, Turkey are nice options too. Thank you for sharing, Chicago Chris

We just had these with ground lamb tonight, we love them with beef and the lamb is just amazing too!

My mom made this too, we had kluski and dad had his mashed potatoes and string beans with onions. Thanks for the memories.

You can order all the spices in whole or ground form from Penzy's Spices on the states. I have been buying from them for years. They are fantastic. The spices are fresh, fresh, fresh and reasonably prices.

One of my favorites! Only difference is is we coat the Kotlety with bread crumbs before frying, make them nice and crispy!

OMG! Yes, we still make them and lovingly call them "Babcia burgers", and my grandmother added ground allspice to meat mixture . Bless my English/Irish husband his just loves all the Polish dishes I brought to our marriage( except the pickle soup😃...which I adore) . Smell and aroma- is the strongest sense to warm memories,- yes, dill, allspice and bay leaves. And thank you Anna and Mark for all those memories, it so warms my heart. Be well, take care and thank you!

Hi Anna. I see you taste your meat for the salt content. I have found that any ground meat recipe, this one or kielbasa or whatever, if you use the formula of 1.5% salt by weight it really gets you spot on. The other seasoning are independent of this. When I make sausage, 1.5% salt to the ground meat and you have seasoned sausage. Add pink salt, garlic, marjoram and pepper you get kielbasa. Or add parmesan cheese , oregano, ect. for italian sausage. The only way you get in trouble is if it is really fatty meat then it can get too salty. The metric system makes the math easy. Give it a try. Thanks and keep up the good work. Love my cookbook!

Great to see both of you (and Lucy, of course) back in your kitchen! My mom made these but we didn’t always have fresh mushrooms so she would use a can of cream of mushroom soup to thicken the sauce. It was still yummy! She just called them kotlety. I’ll be making these using your recipe next. We went full Anna yesterday in our home and I made your veggie salad, carrot and apple salad, potato pancakes and I braised kielbasa with chicken thighs. The house smelled great!

I'd like to pass on a hack that I saw a professional chef on YT demonstrate. Bring the brazing liquid up to a boil in a separate pan and add the bay leaf, allspice, pepper and simmer for 15-20 min then steep like a tea. When adding to the recipe, pass the liquid through a strainer. Personally I also add some Vegeta to water. Nice to see you back, stay healthy.

Oh Mary, tomato barley soup! We always had as a starter, I too thought is was something my grandmother did herself (during the depression maybe). Well here my Babcia version.....3/4 c barley cook in 3/4 qts of beef broth til tender(45mins)then add to broth and barley 1 8oz can of tomato sauce and 1 can cream of tomato soup. Let soup cool. Just before serving she would slowly add a little sour cream( tablespoon) to quart of cool soup ,then heat and serve! Hope this version might be similar to what you might be familiar with. For sure it got americanized (campbell's tomato soup🤔)when she came to USA around 1914. God bless her, for she lived to be 100 and still made the best potato pancakes!!
