MEATLOAF CHEESEBURGERS

Category: Sandwiches

2 (6-inch) sub rolls , split in half lengthwise
1 1/4 cups cornflakes , crushed
1/2 small onion , minced
1/3 cup whole or low-fat milk
6 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 large egg , lightly beaten
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 lbs 90-percent lean ground beef
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 450. Bake rolls, cut side up, on wire rack set inside rimmed baking sheet until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.

Combine corn-flakes, onion, milk, 4 tbsp ketchup, Worcestershire, thyme, garlic powder, egg, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper in large bowl. Add meat and knead gently until well combined.

Top toasted rolls evenly with meat mixture, spreading meat to edges of rolls. (Be sure to spread the meat to the edges of the rolls, or the bread will burn.) Brush top of meat mixture evenly with remaining ketchup and bake until meat registers 160 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Top burgers with cheese and continue to bake until cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve. Serves 4
