Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground round beef
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 2/3 cup finely minced onion
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening for frying the meatballs

Sauce

  • 10 ounces grape jelly

Instructions

To make the meatballs:

  1. In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Using a strong spatula or your hands (I like to wear latex gloves), mix well. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (you should have around 48 total).

To sauce the meatballs in a slow cooker:

  1. Transfer browned meatballs to the crockpot. Add grape jelly and chili sauce. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 hours on HIGH or 4 to 6 hours on LOW, until the sauce is hot. Serve directly from the crockpot with a serving spoon or toothpicks, or transfer to a serving dish.

For the burgers:

  2. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the feta cheese, dill and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to combine.
  3. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. Put 2 tablespoons of the spinach-feta mixture onto half of the patties. Top with remaining patties working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. Season the burgers on both sides with the salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Grill the patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  5. To serve, place a burger on the bottom half of each bun, top with about 2 tablespoons of yogurt sauce, then 2 or 3 cucumber slices and a lettuce leaf. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.

  • 1 garlic clove large, fresh

Instructions

  1. 1 Toast one or two slices of bread.
  2. 2 Drizzle or brush a little olive oil over one side of the toasted bread.
  3. 3 Cut a garlic clove (peel still on) in half, on the diagonal. Gently rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the olive oil-brushed toasted bread.
  4. Alternatively, you can brush the toast with the garlic first, and then drizzle with olive oil or spread with butter. Both ways work.
