I’ll be honest: when I saw this recipe, I had my doubts. But, I was morbidly curious and so I forged ahead anyway. And you know what? It’s actually pretty good! 👍🏼
This recipe comes from the OldRecipes subreddit, which continues to be a source of fascination for me. I modified it slightly from the version that was posted there (and which dates to 1981). It reminds me of a meatless version of Salisbury steak. It’s easy, cheap, has lots of protein, and is tasty, so I’ll definitely make it again.

Steps

20 to 25 minutes

1

Gather the ingredients.
I decided to also add garlic and Worcestershire sauce, but these are not pictured.
2

Place the cottage cheese in a fine sieve to drain. I allowed it to drain in the fridge for about 30 minutes while I prepared the other ingredients.
3

Grate the onion. Place it into a fine sieve to drain for a few minutes.
4

Gently beat the eggs.
5

Finely chop the walnuts.
6

Into the bowl with the eggs, add the cottage cheese, onion, walnuts, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix well, then let sit for 5 minutes so the liquid gets absorbed a little.
At this point, preheat the oven to 350°F.
7

Form nine patties.
8

This step is optional: in a skillet, melt half a Tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Fry four patties for about two minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked patties to a clean plate, and repeat the process for the remaining five patties.
9

In a bowl, prepare the soup according to the directions on the can. That is, combine the can of soup with one can of water or milk. I used milk because I prefer the flavor. Whisk well.
10

Transfer the patties to a 9x13” pan (or a casserole dish). Pour the soup mixture over the patties.
11

Bake in the preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until the soup is bubbling. Serve hot.
