Ingredients
•
1 pound ground beef
•
2 cups crushed saltine crackers, divided
•
1 egg
•
1 tablespoon chili powder
•
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup oil for frying
Directions
1
Mix together ground beef, 1 cup crackers, egg, chili powder, parsley, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Form into 6 balls, then flatten into patties.
2
Place remaining 1 cup crackers on a plate. Press patties in crackers until evenly coated. Place coated patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in hot oil until the centers are well done and the outside is golden brown, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
