Easy Hamburger Recipe
This recipe for Grilled Meatloaf Burgers came from my Mom. It was in one of her old cookbooks. She recently made them and immediately sent me the recipe. She said Plain Chicken readers NEEDED this recipe! I did what any good daughter would do – I added them to our menu.
O-M-G! These Grilled Meatloaf Burgers were terrific! Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We ate these for lunch and again for dinner the same day. They are even on the menu again this weekend. We really LOVED these hamburgers.
How to Make Grilled Meatloaf Burgers
These hamburgers are effortless to make. In a large bowl combine ground beef, ketchup, mustard, onion, soft bread crumbs, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently form the meat mixture into patties and grill.
- If you don’t want to fire up the grill, you can cook these Meatloaf Burgers in a skillet on the stove or pop them under the broiler. Either way, I promise they will taste great!

- You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
- Soft bread crumbs are made from fresh or slightly stale bread. Use a blender or food processor to break the bread into fluffy crumbs.
- I use a kitchen scale to divide the meat mixture into equal parts.
- We topped the burgers with American cheese. Feel free to use any cheese that you enjoy or omit the cheese.
- You can form the meat into patties and refrigerate overnight or freeze for later.

SOO good! However, I’m having a problem with falling apart on the grill. Need a bit more bread crumbs?
can these be made with chicken or would it be to dry
You should be able to substitute chicken or turkey with no problem.
These burgers are delicious, full of flavor, and oh so easy to make. Simplicity at it's best! The only thing I changed, was I used plain dry bread crumbs like Progresso brand. I didn't make my own soft bread crumbs, but it worked out very well and saved me a step. Your Pepper Jack Pasta Salad is an excellent side dish to go with these yummy burgers.
