Recipes Main Dishes Burger Recipes Hamburgers Chef John's Grilled Bacon Meatloaf Burgers 4.9 (38) 34 Reviews 7 Photos I love meatloaf, but not as much as I love meatloaf sandwiches. In fact, I'll make a meatloaf just for the leftovers. I'll fry the cold slice in a buttered pan until hot and crusty, and enjoy it on toast with ketchup. This recipe is basically that, plus bacon, in burger form. By John Mitzewich John Mitzewich John Mitzewich — aka Chef John — has produced more than 1,500 cooking videos for Allrecipes.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 1 large egg, beaten 1 tablespoon ketchup 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon brown sugar ½ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon garlic powder pinch dried thyme cayenne pepper to taste ¼ cup plain bread crumbs ⅔ cup chopped cooked bacon 1 pound ground chuck beef (85% lean) Directions Whisk egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs and chopped cooked bacon. Crumble in the ground beef. Mix with your fingers until bacon and breadcrumbs are distributed evenly. Form mixture into 4 burgers with your wet hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, about 3 hours. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place burgers on the grate and cook, turing occasionally, until firm and cooked to your desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 145 and 150 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. Chef John Recipe Tip You can also pan-fry these burgers to get a nice even crust. I Made It Print 58 home cooks made it!
