I picked out this recipe because Publix had their French Hamburger Buns on sale this week. I knew it was the perfect time for burgers because I have lots of ground beef in the freezer. But I didn't want regular burgers. How about some Meatloaf Burgers? I found the perfect recipe. I would normally cook burgers on the grill, but I felt to have the true meatloaf taste these needed to be baked in the oven. I loved the way they turned out. Very moist and lots of flavor. Ella wasn't interested in trying any, but Clay enjoyed them. I served his with Ore Ida fries and mine with roasted cauliflower. Yummy night for dinner in my house!
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 onion, grated or minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons ketchup
1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
hamburger buns
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix beef, onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire and salt and pepper. Mix just until combined with your hands. Do not overmix.
Divide beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a 4-inch patty. Place on prepared baking sheet. Transfer to oven; bake until cooked through, about 14 minutes, flipping if necessary. (I cooked mine on a rack in a baking pan to help some of the fat and juices drip away from the patty.)
Serve dressed with cheese, lettuce and onions on a hamburger bun.
**Haha...you can tell that I didn't use the buns that were on sale at Publix. I just checked out the ad, and those are tiny! I bought mine at Sam's ($1.78/8-pk) when I returned some formula for Emme. When you get to know your price points, its easier to see a deal and pick something up when you see it. I knew that the buns at Publix were 2-something so I grabbed the one's at Sam's while I was there.
Enjoy!

I made these tonight and the kids and I enjoyed them. They were very moist. My husband who does not like meatloaf didnt love them. I guess I thought by baking ours and then at the end frying his would not have his taste like meatloaf but it didnt work. Again we enjoyed but dont fix for someone who doesnt like meatloaf. I know...its called a meatloaf burger I should have known. Still glad I made it because the kids enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny Erica! Yes, they are meatloaf bugers :) But I did think about throwing them on the grill. That would give it more a "burger" flavor. I almost did it that way, but I thought it might take away from the "meatloaf" part. I think it would be good either way. Also, maybe taking out the egg, and just forming the patties and then putting them on the grill. The egg makes it meatloaf to me!
ReplyDeleteI made this with ground turkey instead because of course I am on a diet ;) and cooked it in my NuWave oven. Since its summer and hot and of course it was my mothers day prezzie so I had to use it. It was awesome. Thank you for this great recipe. I really loved it.
