Ingredients
Scale
Meatloaf Burger Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup soft bread crumbs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
To Serve
- 3 hamburger buns
- 3 cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ketchup, yellow mustard, onion powder, salt, soft bread crumbs, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly but gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to form the meatloaf burger mixture.
- Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into three equal portions and shape each into a round patty, ensuring they are uniform in thickness for consistent cooking.
- Prepare Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill Burgers: Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes on one side. Flip them carefully using a spatula.
- Add Cheese (Optional) and Finish Cooking: If using cheese, place a slice on each burger immediately after flipping. Grill for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and the patties reach desired doneness.
- Toast Buns and Serve: Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or until lightly browned. Serve each burger placed on a toasted bun and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For juicier burgers, avoid overmixing the meat mixture.
- You can substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt, based on preference or dietary needs.
- Cheese slice is optional; cheddar pairs best with the classic meatloaf flavors.
- Use fresh hamburger buns or lightly toasted for best texture and flavor.
