Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- ½ green pepper, diced
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
- cooking spray with olive oil
Instructions
- Mix ground beef, onion, green pepper, egg, ketchup, and sea salt together in a bowl; mix in white bread pieces until evenly distributed. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
- Spray a large skillet with olive oil cooking spray and set over medium heat. Cook the burgers until well-browned on the bottoms, about 10 minutes; flip the burgers and cook until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 more minutes.
- For the juiciest burgers, do not press the meat and try to only flip once.

Very Good, quick and easy. I am sure the exact recipe is as good or better, it was a Delightful light change. Changed things mostly based on what I had. I forgot to put in the Ketchup, and just tossed green pepper in the sauce pan with extra onions, since one does not love peppers. Used a croissant – all only bread I had. Used /2 &1/2. As WE do not keep milk in house often. I plan to make them again -(Do not overcook) and will make onion Gravy like my Polish friend does. A Keeper Thanks Jean – Florida Cook
Just okay-it was like meatloaf. I would rather make meatloaf and make a sandwich from the leftovers.
Surprisingly juicy and with a hint of sweetness I don’t get with other patties!
That sounds like my Mom’s meat loaf recipe only made into bugers. And yes, the leftovers are awesome!
The family enjoyed the burgers. I cooked them on the George Forman.
falls apart too easy, but it’s alright
They were good but fell apart. They are basically meatloaf shaped into burger patties. I have enough really good meatloaf recipes to pass on this one.
Very dry. The photo shows these cooking in a sauce which is definitely needed, but not part of the recipe. Might be better on a grill as opposed to the stovetop.
My polish husband loved these! I did too. And my picky kids even ate them. I used a little red bell pepper along with green bell pepper – because that’s what I had – and it gave it a bit more color. Melted a slice of velveeta on top, and served like a burger. So good! Thanks for this 🙂
It is just meat loaf burgers, give me a break and come up with something new.
They were delicious. I will make them again
I was excited to see this recipe and can’t wait to make it! Years ago, Polish friends of the family made these for us. The only difference was they left out the green pepper and instead of bread, they used crumbled saltine crackers. They were the best burgers ever!!
Just like my Polish Mom used to make except she used steak sauce (A-1) instead of ketchup. She also added some onions and broth, wine, water etc. to the pan after browning the patties then covered and simmered for about 15 minutes.
OMG! I make these, same recipe my Polish mother used, just added an egg. Only difference was making small slider sized patties. Hubby loved them! I’m thinking they’re JUST hamburg patties, but they are pretty good! Occasionally, I put them in the oven to bake while making fried potatoes (great way to use up extra boiled or baked potatoes)with onions and green peppers. I like to serve with green beans.
Kinda’ reminds me of the ‘meatloaf’ burgers I make that my family likes…..
First these are not Polish! My family has made them for over 100 years. We called them pepper steaks. It was used to stretch the use of meat and yet it not being just meatloaf. We served them with gravy, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable. It was often used during my grandmothers time, during the depression. It does not taste like meatloaf. It has a strong flavor or grilled onions and peppers. Our family has always loved these.
I have had something like these before and this is a good recipe! I used half ground beef and half ground pork. Good flavor! I topped with sour cream and served with some pierogis! Will make again.
This was our first time trying Polish hamburgers and we were impressed! They were very moist, and I enjoyed the flavors and how they worked together. We’ll make this again!
This burger can be served with or without a bun.
I made the recipe as is and these were so good! I made the recipe as is…but I added mashed potatoes, gravy and peas. I checked out the reviews and these tasty burgers seemed pretty versatile, which I love when it comes to recipes! I think the next time I might try these on the grill and probably add some cheese. Thanks for a great recipe!
This a nice burger . Reheated burgers stayed moist. I would suggest a big more seasoning. I made one, per recipe and tasted it.. needed a little more so I added some seasoned salt. I tried it with cheese and without and it tastes good both ways
