15-Minute Meatloaf Melts image

Satisfy your meat loaf craving in just 15 minutes by making thin patties and broiling them. These quick and comforting sandwiches have all the elements of a blue plate special-meat loaf, potatoes (in the form of a potato bun) and green beans. They're terrific just the way they are, but adding a couple strips of leftover bacon to each sandwich would be great too!

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 shallot
1 pound meat loaf mix or ground beef
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/3 cup ketchup
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
1-pound bag frozen cut green beans
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 potato hamburger buns, split
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Grate the shallot over a large bowl. Add the meat loaf mix, breadcrumbs, half the ketchup, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the mixture, then divide it into 4 equal balls and shape each into a patty a little less than 1/2 inch thick. Arrange on a baking sheet and broil until the tops of the patties begin to firm up and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the patties with a metal spatula and continue to broil until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Brush each patty with some of the remaining ketchup and top each with a slice of cheese. Continue to broil until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds more.
  • While the patties broil, put the green beans, butter, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until hot, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Open the buns and spread the cut sides with mayonnaise. Place a lettuce leaf and patty in each. Serve each sandwich with a small bowl of green beans.
