Spoon Burgers

My husband grew up eating these Spoon Burgers at school where they made them from scratch!

Eventually we tracked down the recipe... and now... this is a family favorite!


Ingredients:
Make bread dough (use your own recipe if desired)
1 1/2 C water
2 Tbsp. powdered milk
1 1/2 tsp. yeast
3 C. bread flour
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. butter
(Let rise about 60 minutes)

Filling:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 Tbsp. Onion
salt & pepper
1/2 C. ketchup (enough to coat the beef well, not sloppy)
1 C. mozzarella cheese
1 C cheddar or American cheese

Directions:
Cook and brown beef and onion (salt and pepper to taste).   Add ketchup and stir.   Roll out 1/2 of dough and stretch to fit a large cake pan.   Top with beef mixture.   Sprinkle with cheese.   Roll out remaining dough and stretch over the top.   Tuck in edges and brush with butter.   Let rise about 25 minutes.   Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
