I am a poor person and I grew up with a mom who was poor. We had a lot of spaghetti and potatoes. It was a treat if we got cream. Mom had to learn how to make cream. We also had a lot of spam and what I called poor man's sandwich. It was spam with lettuce and mayo on white bread. Also, Our neighbors would bring us food on the holidays. We didn't even have TV until I was 13. Food and clothes were more important. We finally got out of poverty when I was 15 and my mom married my stepdad and he helped us. He ran his own business laying tile. He was a great dad. Both mom and stepdad passed away. I miss them every day. I have good memories with them. ❤️ My stepdad use read to me when I got bored and he took me outside and showed me how to make stuff. We would go family camping in the backyard too.

I was raised by a father who once picked cotton with his brothers and sisters in the south, specifically the cotton fields of rural Louisiana. From him I learned the value of thrift and endurance. So I enjoy what you demonstrated Emmy. I drew lots of ideas and 24 burgers as opposed to 4 is a huge savings. Also, I am looking at recipes that also include less meat and fat. So I was all eyes and ears. You did a wonderful job, and yes I think I will try this. Peace and Love to you and yours in the upcoming Holliday season. MY thrifty Father was a jewell of a family man, I watched him take an entire tractor engine apart and change the rings and adjust the valves. Another time I assisted him in building a large barn without one blue print. Everything he did was in his head and to this day I will never forget him. He died unfortuantely in 1997. I wish you much success and joy in your cooking future!

I'm going to have to agree with the comments saying this has Slavic origins and isn't meant to be a hamburger by American definition. I'm Czech and grew up with my dad making something like this, served like pancakes and topped with melted herbed butter. I lost my dad 20 years ago and my families variation of this is a comfort food that reminds me of my dad. I suppose i can see why some people would say this is gross if you're comparing it to an American burger, but when you compare it to a savory palacinky or bramboracky, (or someone else mentioned Kotlety) it's not so far fetched and would probably get a better response.

For me, this is one of your best, most humorous videos. The battle of which did I use: heavy cream or sour cream? Growing up on the farm in the late fifties and sixties, we actually had a milkman and got bottled milk. I looked forward to spooning off the cream on top of the bottle into my bowl of Corn Pops. Heaven. Now I would not do that with sour cream. That was reserved for baked potatoes and Mom's sour cream raison pie. Regardless, I think one could substitute either one and adjust the milk add for sloppiness, oh, I meant thickness. Thank you for the recipe and video!!! You are on the top of my KZfaq list!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Lol tbh I’ve always thought it was kinda weird that vegans tried to make there food taste like meat, not the nice vegans or vegetarians that don’t judge other people, but the ones that scream it’s murder to the people who eat meat, it’s like us saying cannibals are horrible people but while also trying to make our food taste as much like human as possible even shaping it into human shapes and everything😂 but it’s a great idea to try and convert meat eaters for sure, cause if vegans could make food that tastes just like meat and it gave good protein and it was practical, they’d be no reason for people to kill animals anymore unless there killing the ones that are hurting the eco system or killing to many other animals and making them extinct, or if they need to kill varmints that are eating the vegans vegetables, or if they need to tear down forests taking the homes away from all the animals living in those forests to get more land for farming for vegans... I guess no ones hands are really clean vegan or not if you really think about it, I wonder how many more farms it would take and how many more forests would have to be tore down that hurts animals and the lands made into farms for vegetables and stuff if the entire world turned vegan, probably takes alote of vegetables to feel up 1 person vs a piece of steak that could probably even feel up 2 people if not 3, I wonder if the world turning vegan would actually just end up drastically hurting wild life, sorry kinda went off topic but now I’m curious if everyone going vegan would actually be practical, vegans act like it is but Jesus the amount of farms that would be needed

I mean we're all trying to make our wallets stretch a little more and the place that's easiest to do is in the kitchen so recipes like this is gold. the beauty of it is, you can still adapt it.. if its too reminiscent of a pancake add mushrooms or use more ground beef or whatever else you want to stretch it out with.. if you want to stretch it out more I'm sure you could dilute it down even more, adding more flour etc to balance it out.. thus making it more of a pancake but who cares, if it is something you need or want to do, why not..

Especially with everything getting worse and worse. These videos went from be entertaining to being educational and will probably help a lot of people out with frugality and surviving another day.

I suspect this is a translation of a Czech or Polish dish, not a true "burger" recipe. The traditional extender would probably be stale bread soaked in clabbard milk (I cant remember the Polish name), but I know from experience regular milk and stale bread works if you cant get heavy cream. There are so many variations, I think if you could extend minced beef using lentles and maybe some beef buĺlion to flavor the lentils, an egg for binding, you'd be OK using lower cost mince beef with more fat, the lentils and some bread crumbs (no milk) would absorb the fat making for a very filling patty, way more cost effective than higher cost mince beef. Since fat and proteine keep you satisfied way longer than carbs, that could take you a long way for your money.

@@kimcarrick1448 I would definitely cook them and then make sure they're nice and dry. If they're uncooked I don't think the cook time for the meat would be long enough to soften the lentils.

My Mother was of Slavic origin. She always managed to stretch the meals. When she made burgers, hamburger was only $.19/lb, but she liked to wait until it was on sale for $.09. Each time the price went up, it jumped by an extra $.10/lb.She started out using bread soaked in milk, along with an egg. Gradually, her recipe evolved to include grated onion, carrots, and celery. That eventually became her meatloaf recipe, but it was always a treat to have the burgers. Now, I sometimes add quick oats soaked in milk, or instant potatoes. Also…Scrapple is typically made with cornmeal, then packaged. It’s not stretched farther by adding more to it.

Lightly mix in the meat and fry in a pan or on a griddle. These are great, whether or not you have them plain, with jam or syrup. We always called them "sausage pancakes".

Some years ago I was helping care for a person who was badly injured in an accident. Her jaw was wired shut for several weeks. She was thin prior to being injured and there was concern about her being able to take in adequate nutrition once she left the hospital. She really wanted some meat so our nutritionist suggested we soak hamburger in milk, which apparently helps to break down the proteins in meat and make it softer (kind of like a marinade). We then cooked it so it would get a brown flavor, and made a soup with vegetables, pureed it, and strained it so she was able to take it via a straw. She said the flavor was actually pretty satisfying for her. Wondering if the soft texture of these patties is also in part due to the milk/cream acting on the meat.

In Sweden there is a classical dish called Wallenbergare that you make by mixing cream with veal and making a slightly larger patty that you sear then finish in the oven. Its rather fancy, usually served with peas, mashed potatoes, clarified butter and lingon berries. You are supposed to add as much cream as you can to the minced veal where it can just about hold a roundish shape. Legend has it, that it was a favorite of a famous Swedish businessman called Wallenberg, as he at an older age couldn't chew his food as well anymore, so he had the chefs make it wherever he went. I welcome readers of this comment to try it out, its rather easy to make and its one of my favorite Swedish foods. You can skip the lingon berries if you cant get a hold of them where you are.

Edit: I googled it, and the closest recipe I could find was a "loose meat sandwich". Basically a hamburger but the patty is loose ground beef, or a sloppy joe without the sauce. My school lunch was a slightly creamier and more savory version of that. This is kinda reminding me of something we used to get fed for our school lunches sometimes a long time ago. It was sort of like the consistency of sloppy joes, and was definitely ground meat based (could have been any meat), but it just had a beefy and generally just savory garlic/seasoned type of taste. Just vaguely savory meat flavored. Not awful or off-putting, but definitely unique. The recipe the public school (or company they bought their food from) was probably a recipe akin to this to stretch out the ingredients. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a combination of both dairy AND grains in the ground meat.
