Minced Meat Patties with Pickles, Cheese, and Ketchup

Soak the dry bread slices in milk or water for a few minutes, then squeeze out the excess liquid.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced meat, soaked bread, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

2. Shape the Patties:
With wet hands, divide the meat mixture into 6-8 portions and shape them into patties.

3. Cook the Patties:
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Add the patties to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. If desired, you can cover the pan to help cook them faster.

4. Add Cheese and Pickles:
Once the patties are almost cooked, place a slice of cheese on each patty and top with sliced pickles.

Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes gooey.

5. Serve:
Place the patties on a serving plate, drizzle with ketchup, and serve hot.

Enjoy with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, a salad, or crispy fries.
