Smoky Grilled Meatloaf Burger with Charred Green Bean Fries

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the olive oil to the preheated sauté pan. Carefully add the chopped onion, carrot, sweet pepper and celery. Cook vegetables for 6 to 8 minutes, until caramelized and almost tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, chopped herbs, mustard, grated parmesan cheese, stuffing mix and seasoning blend. Add the cooked and cooled celery, peppers, onion and carrot mixture to the meatloaf hamburger mix. Stir all ingredients to combine. Hand-form 4 to 6 even-sized hamburger patties. Cover the patties and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour before grilling.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the preheated grill has a clean cooking surface. Carefully place the chilled meatloaf burgers on the grill in an evenly heated area. Grill the burgers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on desired doneness. Add 1 tablespoon of the tomato ketchup mixture to the top of each meatloaf burger after they have been flipped over. An internal thermometer should read between 140 and 150 degrees for proper doneness.
