Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Lightly grease an ovenproof skillet or baking dish.
- Divide the 1 lb ground beef into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty slightly larger than the hamburger buns to allow for shrinkage during cooking.
- Season both sides of each patty with seasoning of your choice.
- Place the patties in the prepared skillet or baking dish with a little space between each one.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until patties are cooked through (internal temperature reaches 160°F).
- If using the 4 slices of cheese, place one slice on each patty and return the pan to the turned-off oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese melts. If not using cheese, let the patties rest 2–3 minutes after removing from the oven.
- Place each patty on a hamburger bun. Top with condiments (ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise), fresh lettuce, and fresh sliced tomato as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tip: You can assemble burgers with cheese, place them in a bun, and wrap them with aluminum foil. This will trap the heat and melt the cheese in just a few minutes without putting them back in oven.
The best way to ensure your burgers are cooked to your liking is to use a meat thermometer. Please refer to the doneness chart below.
