Zesty Ground Beef Patties

My sister Joyce has been making these for years. She makes them just like her meatloaf, but she adds Worchester Sauce to give the meat a little extra Zing! They're wonderful! Served with baked potatoes and a salad, they make a wonderful meal fit for company!

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worchester Sauce
2 tsps onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 slices bread, crumbled or torn into small bits
2 eggs
1 tablespoon oil

Mix together the first 7 ingredients (all except the eggs and oil) in a large mixing pan. Add both eggs and knead thoroughly. Shape into 6 or 8 thick, rounded patties. In a skillet, heat oil. Add patties and cook until just slightly pink in center and well browned on the outside. NOTE: the patties will be soft and might fall apart somewhat during cooking. Take care when turning them.

Variation: Make the patties thinner and serve them between hamburger buns. They're delicious this way, too! Want more zing? Add more Worchester Sauce!
