Dad’S Cola Burgers

• 1/2 cup crushed saltines (about 15 crackers)
• 1/2 cup (nondiet) cola, divided
• 6 tablespoons French salad dressing, divided
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 6 hamburger buns, split
• Optional toppings: Lettuce leaves and tomato and red onion slices

1. Combine saltine crumbs, 1/4 cup cola, 3 tablespoons salad dressing, egg, Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add beef; mix well. Shape into six 3/4-in.-thick patties (the mixture will be moist); sprinkle with remaining salt. Combine remaining cola and salad dressing.
2. Grill patties, covered, over medium heat 3 minutes per side. Brush with cola mixture. Grill, brushing and turning occasionally, until a thermometer reads 160u0b0, 3-4 minutes longer. Serve on buns; if desired, top with lettuce, tomato and onion.
