2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons milk
2 slices bread, torn up
1 tablespoon dried minced onions
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup catsup

Mix eggs with cream and milk; add torn-up bread, onion, salt, horseradish, pepper, thyme and dry mustard. Stir well. Let stand 10 minutes, then stir well again, until all ingredients are well-moistened and the bread is no longer in pieces. Add ground beef and mix well.

Melt butter with catsup and keep warm.

Measure out beef in 1/2 cup increments and form patties. Grill over hot coals on one side. Turn and brush with butter-catsup mixture. Grill other side. Serve hot.

Makes 9 patties.
