Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, and egg with your favorite seasonings. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 50 minutes.
  3. Prepare your BBQ sauce in a saucepan, whisk together your sauce ingredients, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 15–20 minutes.
  4. To create crispy shallots, heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced shallots and fry until golden brown.
  5. After the meatloaf has baked and cooled slightly, slice it into thick pieces. Assemble the burgers with meatloaf, BBQ sauce, crumbled bacon, and crispy shallots on the brioche buns.
