Ingredients

1 cup Heartland^® Bulgur
2 cups water
1 lb. ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine bulgur and water, cover, and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Mix the cooked bulgur with the remaining ingredients and knead as you would dough until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Add water if mixture seems dry, and dip hands in water frequently to aid kneading. Form mixture into patties and fry until brown and cooked through.

Variation - Bulgur Meat Loaf: Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare and knead mixture as above, then mold the blended mixture into a well-greased meat loaf pan (approx. 9x5). Spoon tomato sauce or steak sauce over loaf, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven to 350° and bake additional 15 minutes. Remove foil and allow to sit in oven 10 minutes.
