On the Grill: Meatloaf Burgers

If you want more than a burger on your grill, try for a burger with an "ooomph." These patties are practically an entire meal in themselves and even the kids will like them.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• 2 lbs ground, thawed hamburger
• 2 tbsp minced onion or finely chopped onion
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 egg
• 1 piece of bread, crumbled up

STEPS:

1. Mix all ingredients in bowl. Hamburger is best kneaded by using hands.
2. Form patties.
3. Place on grill.
4. Flip when edges brown. They are done when juice runs clear.
5. Eat on hamburger buns or without buns.

MIX IT UP:

• Add some crunch to the patties with finely chopped peppers.
• Steak sauces add a different taste.
• Some people also like a small amount of finely chopped tomatoes mixed in. Limit these and insure they are chopped very small.
• Shredded cheddar cheese added to the mix is another variation we have tried.
• Like meatloaf, you can also spread ketchup on top for the last five minutes of cooking for a tomato crust on top.
