Baked hamburgers are perfect for parties because they cook hands-free and their easier to clean up than pan-fried patties.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 24 ounces of ground chuck
  • One teaspoon of kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 4 slices of cheese, such as cheddar, American, blue cheese, or Swiss
  • 4 soft hamburger-style buns, split
  • 4 slices of beefsteak tomatoes, optional
  • Iceberg, romaine, or watercress, optional
  • 4 tablespoons of your favorite mustard
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup

Spice Blend

  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons of onion powder
  • Hot sauce, to taste

Instructions

  1. Do the prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F or 204°C. Line a baking sheet with foil and place an oven-safe rack on top.
  2. Make the patties. Add the meat, salt, pepper, and spice blend (optional) to a bowl and mix gently with your hands. Divide the seasoned meat into 4 equal portions. You can use a scale to measure 6-oz patties or guess. Shape each portion into a patty that’s 3/4- to 1-inch thick. Use your thumb to press a dent in the center of each patty.
  3. Bake. Place the patties on the rack and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. The recommendation for a safe food temperature for ground beef is 160°F or 71°C.
  4. Add cheese and broil. In the last minute of cooking, add cheese and turn on the broiler. Watch the patties closely because the cheese can burn.
  5. Toast buns. While patties are baking, toast the buns and arrange your toppings so you and guests can easily construct their burgers.
  6. Compile burgers and enjoy.
