- 1 shallot
- 1 pound meat loaf mix or ground beef
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

- Add the meat loaf mix, breadcrumbs, half the ketchup, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
- Use your hands to thoroughly combine the mixture, then divide it into 4 equal balls and shape each into a patty a little less than 1/2 inch thick.
- Arrange on a baking sheet and broil until the tops of the patties begin to firm up and brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip the patties with a metal spatula and continue to broil until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Brush each patty with some of the remaining ketchup and top each with a slice of cheese.
- Continue to broil until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds more.
- While the patties broil, put the green beans, butter, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
- Cover and microwave until hot, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Open the buns and spread the cut sides with mayonnaise.
- Place a lettuce leaf and patty in each.
