Hamburger Surprises
 
 

1 pound hamburger 2 teaspoons salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons butter or margarine  ½ c. finely chopped onion  1 slice bread, cut in 4 squares  ½ c. chili sauce Mix hamburger, salt and pepper. Divide into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 3 inches in diameter. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onion and bread squares. Stir and cook until onions are tender and bread is browned and crisp. Push onions and bread squares to one side of the skillet.. Put 4 of the hamburger patties in the skillet. Place one-fourth of the cooked onion and a toast square in center of each patty. Place remaining 4 patties on top of bread squares. Seal edges of the 2 hamburger patties by gently pressing them together with the back of a spoon. When the lower patty is cooked through, turn the "surprises" over to cook top patty. Turn patties carefully in order not to break the seal between the patties. Cook 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
