Meatloaf Hamburger Patties image

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup onion (diced (about 1/2 a small onion))
1 egg
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 12 crackers*)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
3 Tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the meatloaf ingredients and mix together by hand. Shape into 4-5 individual patties.
  • Make the topping by combining 1/3 cup ketchup and the brown sugar in a small bowl and stirring until smooth.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat then add a little oil to it. When the oil is hot, carefully place each hamburger patty into the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip to cook the other side. Immediately top each hamburger patty with some of the brown sugar ketchup topping while the patties cook for another 5 minutes on the other side.
  • When the meatloaf patties are no longer pink in the center, remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes so the juices can redisperse. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans, or on hamburger buns for a meatloaf sandwich.
