Frikadellen/Frikadeller

While there are many variables to this recipe, this is relatively close to my father's recipe, with small changes sometimes noted.  Here's a link to a video my brother-in-law Warren and sisters Pat and Mary Ellen put together and cooked.  

Here are the ingredients:

1. 1.5 pounds of ground beef and select the 85/15 percent fat ground beef for better flavor
2. 5 cloves of garlic, chopped/chunked
3. 2 eggs
4. Salt and pepper
5. 1 medium onion chopped
6. .5 tbs of Worcestershire sauce
7. 1.5 cups of Italian-flavored bread crumbs
8. 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
9. Real whole milk or half-and-half approx. 3oz

Mix together in a large bowl the ground beef, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper, and the milk together with your hands in a kneading fashion.  After thoroughly mixed add the bread crumbs and continue to knead until the mixture is relatively smooth.  Form into oval hamburger-sized patties and place them in an aluminum cooking pan that the bottom has been coated in olive oil.   There are several methods to cook these; we cooked them on the grill in the pan at approximately 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.  Once cooked transfer the frikadellen to the grill to sear and grill for a few minutes.  Serve with mayo tomato and lettuce and Bob's your uncle.
