Ree has turned her classic meatloaf that she’s made for years into a patty recipe, with a much-reduced cooking time to match. The glaze is the same too, and Ree insists on a ketchup-based glaze rather than a BBQ sauce one; the results are far superior — sticky, thick and bright red.

Ingredients

Patties:

Glaze:

Instant Cheesy Mash:

Directions

  1. For the patties: Preheat the oven to broil.
  2. Add the bacon to an ovenproof skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, add the beef to a large bowl along with the egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic and onion. Add the milk followed by a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix, then divide into 4 patties.
  4. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Add the patties to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook, flipping as needed, until nicely seared, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  6. For the glaze: Meanwhile, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and hot sauce in a bowl.
  7. Place the patties under the broiler until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Top with the glaze, then broil for an additional 3 minutes to set the sauce. Top with the bacon and serve with the Instant Cheesy Mash.

Instant Cheesy Mash:

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the potatoes, powdered garlic and onion, salt, pepper and cheese. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle the chives over the top and add a pat of butter. Serve hot.
