Meatloaf Burger Steaks

What is the world is a meatloaf - burger - steak???  I know you were wondering.  I have to admit - I was wondering the same thing when I first saw this recipe.  Is it a meatloaf?  Is is a hamburger?  Or is it a chopped steak?  I secretly hoped for some sort of fusion of all three things in one jam packed patty.  

Now that I've made this recipe, I can honestly say that I'm no closer to an answer to that question than I was before. All I know is that I have a child at home who loves meatloaf, loves burgers and really loves steak.  How could I lose with this recipe?   

Meatloaf Burger Steaks
4 ounces mushrooms
3 cloves garlic
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
1/2 onion, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
1 celery stalk, cut into 1" pieces
1/3 cup whole wheat panko
2 eggs
1 pound ground sirloin
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
​

Place mushrooms, garlic, carrot, onion and celery in food processor and pulse 3-4 times. 

Combine panko, eggs and beef.  

Divide into 4 equal pieces and shape into patties. 
Sprinkle patties with salt and pepper.  ​

Heat oil in skillet.  Add patties and cook 4 minutes on each side.  Remove from pan.

Add mushroom mixture and cook 6 minutes.  And wine to pan and cook until liquid evaporates.  

Stir in honey, ketchup and Worcestershire and cook 3 minutes.  

Reduce heat to low and add patties.  Cook 6 minutes or until cooked through.

I've made meatloaf burgers and I've made steak burgers and I've even made burger steaks but I've never made a meatloaf burger steak.  Until now that is.  Ladies and gentlemen - I'd like to introduce to you to the Meatloaf Burger Steak.  Enjoy!!

My meatloaf loving child moved home from college for the summer yesterday so it's time that I break out my favorite meat recipes.  This one will definitely be added to the list of summer meals to feed my teenage carnivore.

Ciao!
