Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground pork
• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 2 Large onion
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 4 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Marjoram (optional)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour (for dredging)
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef.

Step 2

Finely chop the onions or grate them, and add to the meat mixture.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 5 minutes, then add them to the meat mixture.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into the meat mixture, and add the salt, black pepper, and marjoram if using.

Step 6

Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough patties.

Step 7

Shape the mixture into oval patties, approximately 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 8

Dredge each patty lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, cook the patties for 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).

Step 11

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Keep the patties warm in a low oven (200°F) if necessary while frying the remaining batches.

Step 13

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a light salad.
