I created this recipe for the <a href="https://food52.com/contests/124-your-best-meatloaf">Your Best Meatloaf Contest</a>. Since my oven debacle, I've been using the stovetop to cook a lot. There are not many stovetop meatloaf recipes out there to inspire me, but recently, I watched Giada dig into an umami burger on one of her shows. Which led me to thinking, "Hmmmm... I wonder..." <a href="http://whiteonricecouple.com">White On Rice Couple</a> has an umami burger recipe on their site, so I found some inspiration there, too. In case you're wondering, umami, the so-called fifth primary taste, contributes savoriness to a dish. Flavor Bible has a whole section on umami-rich foods. You should definitely check it out! If you prefer smaller burgers, you can divide the meat into 8 portions (about a quarter-pound each) and use mini Martin's Whole Wheat Potato Buns.
