1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup finely crushed saltine crackers (7 crackers)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
4 thin slices onion
4 slices sharp American cheese
1/4 cups chopped onion

1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons ketchup; stir in cracker crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add ground beef; mix well. Form into four patties; place each on a 12-inch square of heavy-duty foil. Top each patty with 1 slice onion and 1 slice cheese.

Cook chopped onion in butter till tender but not brown. Add 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, horseradish, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Spoon over burgers. Wrap foil loosely around meat, sealing edges well. Cook the bundles over medium heat,250 degrees, onion side down, for 15 minutes. Turn burgers over; grill till desired doneness, about 10 minutes more.
