Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 to 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sriracha
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 white onion, chopped
8 to 10 fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 stale slices white bread, rubbed between hands to make sand
1 large egg
One 212-milliliter jar sun-dried tomato or basil pesto (about 3/4 cup)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 ounces freshly grated Parmesan
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
1 pound ground chuck (80/20)
3 to 4 burger buns, warmed
Thin potato chips, for topping

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Combine the ketchup, vinegar, sriracha and pepper in a small pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and refrigerate.
  • For the patties: Add the olive oil to a small pan on medium-high heat, then add the onion, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon water. Stir to coat everything and cook until the onions are translucent but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the bread, egg, pesto, Worsterschire sauce, Parmesan and garlic in a medium bowl. Add the sauteed onions to the breadcrumb mixture and stir to completely combine. Break up the beef in a large bowl with your hands or a wooden spatula. Add the breadcrumb mixture and gently mix together.
  • Preheat the grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat at 350 degrees F or heat a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Evenly divide the mixture into 3 or 4 balls and form into patties. Place on the direct heat of the grill or into the pan. Cook on one side until the patties release, 5 to 6 minutes, then flip, transferring to the indirect heat of the grill. If using a pan, simply lower the heat and cover the patties with a lid or upside-down metal bowl. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • For the burgers: Add a patty to each bun bottom, then top with the sauce and a pile of potato chips. Top with the bun tops. Enjoy!

TURKEY MEATLOAF BURGERS



Turkey Meatloaf Burgers image

A meatloaf style turkey burger that's moist and flavorful. My kids love these burgers and don't realize it's a lighter alternative to beef burger. My kids just slap on some mayo and head to town. Great served with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments, with a side of chips or raw crispy veggies.

Glazing the burgers with chili sauce keeps them moist and adds extra flavor. Look for chili sauce (actually a spicy ketchup) in the condiments aisle of your grocery store.

MEATLOAF BURGERS



Meatloaf Burgers image

I made these burgers a long time ago and wondered why I haven't had them in so long as I really liked them. If you like meatloaf sandwiches then you will like this version, only you don't have to make a meatloaf first. Serve on a bun and put whatever toppings you like on these. Or if you want, eat without the bun, they are good...

Categories     Burgers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
1/2 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 c crushed saltine crackers
1 large egg, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp ketchup
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients. Do not over mix. Divide beef mixture into 4 or 6 equal portions, depending on what size patty you want. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  • 3. Transfer to oven; bake about 5 to 7 minutes, flip over for about another 5 to 7 minutes, until burgers are cooked through. Watch time as it depends on the size of your patty. Can fry these as well. I have done both.

MEATLOAF BURGERS



MEATLOAF BURGERS image

Categories     Beef     Pork

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 celery rib, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 pound ground beef chuck
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal or turkey
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs (see "how to make fresh bread crumbs" below)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly milled black pepper
1/3 cup chili sauce (the kind you serve with shrimp cocktail or you can make your own by combining 2/3 ketchup with 1/3 bottled horseradish)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, spreading out the mixture, and place in freezer to cool slightly. Combine the beef, pork, veal, sour cream, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the mustard, the salt, and pepper; stir in the onion mixture. Shape into 6 equal burgers. 2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet over high heat until hot; reduce the heat to medium and add the burgers to the pan. Cook the burgers for 6 minutes a side or until they are almost cooked through (nice and pink; they should be almost firm to the touch and have very little pink color inside). Transfer the burgers to a rimmed baking sheet. 3. Meanwhile, combine the chili sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons mustard. Preheat the broiler to high. Spoon the chili sauce over each burger to cover well and place the skillet under the broiler. Broil for 2 minutes or until the topping begins to bubble.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. This will give your burgers a more flavorful and juicy texture.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
  • Add some breadcrumbs or oats to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the burgers from falling apart.
  • Use a variety of seasonings in the meatloaf mixture. This will give your burgers more flavor.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch. With a few simple tips, you can easily make the best meatloaf burgers that everyone will love.
