Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 0 optional Burger toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the burger patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done burgers. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add the tomato sauce, cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun, spooning a generous amount of tangy tomato sauce over the top, and adding your favorite toppings. Cover with the top bun.

Step 6

Serve the Meatloaf Burgers warm and enjoy with fries, salad, or your favorite sides.
