Meatloaf Sandwiches in 15 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 450 g ground beef or meatloaf mix
• 1 shallot
• 0.5 cups plain breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
• 450 g frozen chopped green beans
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 potato buns, cut in half horizontally
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 lettuce leaves

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to grill mode.
2. Grate the shallots coarsely. Add the ground meat, breadcrumbs, half the ketchup, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix the meat mixture thoroughly with your hands, then divide it into 4 equal balls and form each into a patty just under 1 cm thick.
3. Place on a baking sheet and grill until the tops of the patties begin to set and brown, 3-4 minutes. Turn the patties over with a metal spatula and continue grilling until cooked through, another 2-3 minutes.
4. Brush each patty with the remaining ketchup and top with a slice of cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted, another 30 seconds.
5. While the patties are frying, in a medium bowl, combine the green beans, butter, 1 tablespoon of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Cover and microwave for 4-5 minutes.
6. Open the buns and spread mayonnaise on the cut sides. Place a lettuce leaf and a patty on each bun. Serve with green beans.
