Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Meatloaf Burger
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, and seasonings like salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined and shape into a loaf. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the meatloaf for about 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
  3. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the BBQ sauce by mixing preferred ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes until it begins to thicken.
  4. Thinly slice the shallots and heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4–5 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
  5. Slice the baked meatloaf and assemble the burger by slathering BBQ sauce on a brioche bun, adding a slice of meatloaf, crispy bacon, and fried shallots on top. Enjoy!
