These were very similar to the kotlety that my Russian neighbor used to make. Very hearty, satisfying, and wholesome. I served mine with scalloped potatoes.

These were a huge hit in my home. Only change I made was using onion powder instead of onion because I was out. Can’t wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow for lunch. I served over mashed potatoes - delicious!!
