Quick-Fix Cheeseburger


Quick-Fix Cheeseburger “Meat”loaf (adapted from Kraft Recipes, Total Time: 1 hour, Servings: 4-6)

Ingredients
1 package Morningstar Farms burger crumbles
10 crackers, crushed (about 1/2 cup) – or ½ cup breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
¼ cup ketchup
¾ cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

Directions
1.)    Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.)    Thaw crumbles in microwave, heating in 30 second intervals and mixing.
3.)    Mix crumbles, crumbs and mustard until well blended; press into 8x4-inch loaf pan.
4.)    Bake 40 min.
5.)    Spread ketchup over loaf. Top with cheese; bake 5 min. or until melted.


My husband enjoyed this recipe much more than my usual “meat”loaf, so it’s a keeper.  It definitely tastes like a cheese”burger”, without the bun, I don’t really know how else to describe it.  Delieicous!  The loaf holds together well when removing it from the pan, which is a definite improvement over other loaf recipes.  I served this with Trader Joe’s Asparagus Risotto (super creamy and very tasty) and cauliflower florets topped with cheese.  A complete meal.  I definitely suggest trying out this dish!
