Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced
6 slices bacon
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into quarters
1 tablespoon ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, eggs and 2 tablespoons of ketchup in a large bowl. Mix well, then add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, and onion. Set mixture aside. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with bacon, widthwise. Place half of the meat mixture across the top of the bacon. Lay 3 of the 4 pieces of Cheddar cheese across the center of the meat, lengthwise. Cover the cheese with the second half of the meat mixture and mold the meat into a loaf shape. Pull the ends of the bacon up and around the loaf. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup thinly over the loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven.

BACON-TOPPED MEATLOAF BURGERS



Bacon-Topped Meatloaf Burgers image

Instead of turning a meatloaf into a red-centered burger-loaf, why not turn a burger into a tender, juicy meatloaf patty? You get the inimitable meatloaf flavors of beef laced with ketchup and onion but in a far more delectable form. Simply broil the burgers until they are just past purple on the inside, and seared mahogany brown on the outside. This takes about five minutes - 55 minutes less than a traditional meatloaf. Put the patties on a potato bun and bite in. The meat is juicy enough to soak the roll, and is flavored in that meatloaf manner - brawny yet barely sweet, porky from the bacon, aromatic with herbs, onion and garlic, all commingled with a deep, beefy flavor. Excellent!

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, weekday, burgers, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, or a combination of beef, pork and veal
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 slices bacon, cut into thirds crosswise
Burger buns and trimmings like pickles, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Position oven rack 4 inches from heat. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the meat, onion, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix in half the ketchup mixture, reserving other half as a glaze.
  • Form meat mixture into six equal patties, about 1 1/4 inches thick. Transfer patties to a baking sheet. Brush each patty with glaze.
  • For rare burgers, broil for 1 minute, then add bacon slices to tops of patties and continue broiling until bacon is browned and meat is cooked as desired, about 4 minutes longer. For medium, add bacon after 2 minutes of broiling, and for well-done, after 3 minutes. Serve with buns and trimmings if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin. You can also use ground turkey or chicken, but the meatloaf will be leaner.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf: To prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry, add some moisture to the mixture. You can use eggs, milk, or bread crumbs.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the meatloaf at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for cooking meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: After the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Bacon Tomato Topped Meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make a perfect meatloaf every time.
