  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 t. salt
  • 1 T. minced onion

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients and 2 T. BBQ sauce. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Form into 12 patties. Wrap a bacon slice around the sides of each patty and secure with a toothpick.
