1 large egg
½ c. cola, divided
½ c. crushed saltines (about 15)
6 Tbsp. French salad dressing, divided
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp. salt
1½ lbs. ground beef
6 hamburger buns, split
Optional toppings: Lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, sliced red onion, pickles and sliced cheese
In a large bowl, combine egg, ¼ cup cola, cracker crumbs, 2 Tbsp. salad dressing, Parmesan cheese and salt. Crumble beef over mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 6 (¾" thick) patties (mixture will be moist). In a small bowl, combine remaining cola and salad dressing; set aside.
Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Brush with cola mixture. Continue grilling until a thermometer reads 160°, 6-8 minutes, brushing and turning occasionally. Serve on buns. Serve burgers with optional toppings as desired. —6 servings.
