1 can (11 ounces) Pillsbury refrigerated breadsticks
1 egg
3 Tablespoons dried minced onion
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup Progresso plain bread crumbs
1 pound lean ground beef

Heat oven to 375°F. Separate dough into 12 breadsticks. Cut each into 4 pieces; place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375°F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; place on wire racks. Cool 5 minutes or until slightly cooled. Split each in half, keeping tops and bottoms together to form miniature buns.
