Please help. I am searching for a recipe from my childhood
(I am now 70). My aunt used to make great hamburgers for cookouts.
The ingredients Included onion soup mix, applesauce and possibly Crackers.
Can you help me find this long lost recipe?
Thank you, Marla
Hello Marla,
There are quite a lot of these recipes, with slight differences. Most of them call for some type of hot sauce, such as Tabasco or Texas Pete.
The hot sauce is optional, but it might be needed to balance the sweetness of the applesauce.
I wonder if this recipe was originally on the Lipton's package...? Or maybe on the Mott's applesauce jar...?
See below for three recipes.
