Meatloaf Burgers
Meatloaf burgers take all the meatloaf flavors and put them into a burger shape meant to be enjoyed on a bun! A family friendly meal for any night of the week!
Meatloaf is one of those staple dinners that we all love with mashed potatoes.
These meatloaf burgers invite you to reinvite the classic meat and potatoes combination.
Why not serve the meatloaf burgers with fries or tots instead of mashing potatoes and delight the kids even more?
They’ll never complain about a burger and fries.
At least mine won’t.
Isn’t meatloaf basically a burger anyway?
Most people use only ground beef, salt, pepper, and toppings to make burgers.
Meatloaf is often ground beef but sometimes is a mix of ground beef and pork.
It normally has binding ingredients like breadcrumbs and eggs along with seasoning like garlic, onion and other flavors.
Burgers cook up quickly, whereas meatloaf takes around an hour in the oven.
These meatloaf burgers marry ground beef meatloaf with quick cooking burgers so you can have dinner on the table in no time at all.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Ground beef– Go for lean beef like 90/10.
- Aromatics– A small peeled, diced yellow onion and minced garlic.
- Worcestershire sauce
- Egg– To bind it all together
- Breadcrumbs– Italian style but panko will work in a pinch
- Ketchup
- Hot sauce– Just a little. Don’t worry it won’t make the meatloaf spicy.
- Seasonings– Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, ground oregano, and smoked paprika
- Sauce ingredients– Ketchup, barbecue sauce, and mustard
How to Make
Making meatloaf burgers is easy!
Just add all of the burger ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix them all together with your clean hands.
Divide the mixture out into 8 equal sized balls and then flatten them into patties.
Arrange the burgers on a wire rack set overtop a large rimmed baking sheet.
Set the burgers aside while you whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Spread the sauce evenly out overtop of the burger patties.
Bake the burgers at 400° for 30-35 minutes, just until fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked burgers to hamburger buns and serve with your favorite toppings.
Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tips and Tricks
- You can adjust the seasoning to suit your tastes.
- Make your clean up a breeze and spread a sheet of tin foil on the baking dish below the rack with the burgers on them. The foil will catch all the drips so you won’t have to deal with baked on grease.
