1 large egg
1/2 cup cola, divided
1/2 cup crushed saltines (about 15)
6 tablespoons French salad dressing, divided
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
6 hamburger buns, split
Optional toppings: Lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, sliced red onion, pickles and sliced cheese
In a large bowl, combine egg, 1/4 cup cola, cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons salad dressing, Parmesan cheese and salt. Crumble beef over mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into six 3/4-in.-thick patties (mixture will be moist).
In a small bowl, combine remaining cola and salad dressing; set aside.
