stuffed burger bundles
~ stuffed burger bundles ~
This is a yummy, comfort food dish that my friend Jen told me about. Burger bundles are stuffed mini meatloaves with gravy poured over them. We like them with mashed potatoes, squash and a crisp green salad.
First you’ll want to make up a batch of your favorite stuffing…OR, if you’re short on time, just make Stove Top Stuffing according to the package directions for the microwave version, and dress it up with a little chopped onion, diced apple, raisins, and walnuts like I did here…
Next, combine a pound of raw, extra lean ground beef or bison with 1 egg and 2 Tablespoons of milk.
Divide into four portions and flatten into big, stuffable patties.
Place 1/4 cup stuffing in the center of each of the patties…
Hold the meat and stuffing in one hand and “bundle” the stuffing inside. Form into a little loaf and seal the edges closed.
Place the bundles, seam side down, in a oiled, glass baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for an hour and 15 minutes. Plate and pour gravy over.
Enjoy!

Ok WOW This sounds amazing! I love good homey comfort food.. especially when its cold out and I don’t feel good! Sounds super easy too!
I’ll have to give you my sisters recipe for Hamburger Packets. You will love them! It’s something she came up with for cooking on a camp fire, but works great in the oven as well!
XOXO

Oh yeah – that’s comfort food right there. Meaty goodness with big puddles of gravy and maaaaaaash! Perfect for a rainy day when you don’t want to do anything except lounge about in sweatpants and an old raggedy pullover, right? 🙂 Looks yummy… dare I suggestion the addition of cheese and bacon though? 😀
OOOhhhh….I think you may have something there! Next time I’ll maybe add a bit of Swiss to the filling and wrap the bundles with bacon. You are a genius, sir 😉 xo
Oh Oh Oh – and I think I actually have all the ingredients needed for this already! No shopping needed!! Woo Hoo!!!!!
YAY!!! Enjoy 😉
