Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
• In a large bowl, add 2 pounds ground beef and 4 teaspoons beef seasoning. Gently combine with your hands just until the seasoning is evenly distributed—do not over-mix.
• Divide the meat into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a tight ball, then flatten into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making the center slightly thinner than the edges. Smooth any cracks at the edges with the palm of your hand.
• Place a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the patties on the rack, leaving space between them so air can circulate. (If you do not have a rack, place the patties directly on the rimmed baking sheet.)
• Bake at 400°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the patties are no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 160°F.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Set the oven to low broil.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 1–3 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted.
• Transfer each cheeseburger to a bun, add burger toppings of choice, and serve immediately.
