Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce leaves (for serving)
• Mashed potatoes (optional, for serving)

How to Make Savory Meatloaf Burgers with Creamy Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and milk. Mix until just combined.
3. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
5. While the burgers are baking, prepare the creamy gravy. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden.
6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired. Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on each bun, topping it generously with the creamy gravy, and adding lettuce.
9. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes or your favorite sides.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh ground beef for better flavor and texture.
• Don’t overmix the meat mixture; this keeps the burgers tender.
• Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs for a personal touch.
• Make sure to let the burgers rest after baking to keep them juicy.

Easy Variations

• Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add grated cheese to the meat mixture for a cheesy twist.
• Top with sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• A fresh garden salad
• Roasted vegetables
• Coleslaw for a crunchy side
