Big Mac Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for cheese; mix well.
• Take approximately 1/2 of meat mix and flatten it out on a sheet of wax paper, sprinkle cheese on top.
• Take one end of meat and roll to other end like a jelly roll.
• Place in a cake pan of sorts.
• Repeat with remaining 1/2 of meat.
• If you like a type of crust on meat loaf, I crush a few crackers add salad dressing and a bit of cheese.
• Spread it on top of the meatloaves.
• Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
• Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
• Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.

Steps:

• With a serrated knife, cut the top off the extra bun half, leaving about a 3/4-inch-thick slice.
• That will be the middle bun of your sandwich.
• Place the three bun halves on a hot pan or griddle, face down, and toast them to a light brown.
• Set aside, but keep the pan hot.
• Divide the ground beef in half and press into two thin patties slightly larger than the bun.
• Cook the patties in the hot pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Salt lightly.
• build the burger in the following stacking order from the bottom up: bottom bun, half of dressing, half of onion, half of lettuce, American cheese, beef patty, middle bun, remainder of dressing, remainder of onion, remainder of lettuce, pickle slices, beef patty, top bun.
