There is a little story that goes with this recipe. My husband is one of 4 brothers. As you can imagine as a Mom trying to feed 4 boys had to be a challenge. My Mother in law Edna often got very creative. One thing I will say they found lots of fun activities to do as a family on a budget. On Saturday nights they all went downstairs to the basement and had sing-along , listening to favorites like Johnny Mathis, Wayne Newton, and others popular in the day. Of coarse you couldn't have a music night with out classing it up with what she called Hor D'oeurves. Harry remembers his favorite little snacks, and the boys ate every bite!
1 lb lean ground beef
1 loaf of party rye or cocktail rye/ pumpernickel ( if you can find it) I just use good seeded rye cut in quarters.
1 small onion chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix the ground beef , onion salt and pepper, set aside
Are-heat oven to 350
Cut each slice of rye in quarters and place on a cookie sheet. Place in the oven for just enough time to slightly toast them. Remove.
Now its time to place a portion of meat on each slice of bread. I just make a little thin pattie just the right size for the bread quarter.
Place these in the oven and cook until ground beef is done. Time varies, so try checking at 12 minutes, add more time if needed.
These are surprisingly yummy. Kids will love them for sure, you could even top them with a little piece of thin cheese , or even season the meat mixture , get creative!
