Instructions
- Add the ground beef, oats, canned milk, chopped onions, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water to a mixing bowl and combine thoroughly.
- Form the mixture into patties and cook slowly over low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
- Blend in 1 tablespoon of flour into the mixture and cook a few more minutes until thickened.
Tips & Substitutions
For a juicier patty, consider using a mix of ground beef and ground pork. If you're out of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a good substitute. To enhance flavor, add minced garlic or herbs like parsley. When forming the patties, wet your hands to prevent sticking, and make a small indentation in the center to help them cook evenly.
