Hamburgers in the Oven

Baking hamburgers in the oven is an easy, hands-off method that yields tender, juicy patties done in just 10 minutes. Perfect for weeknights!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 pounds lean ground beef (I use 93% lean)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (omit if using 85% lean)
• 1 batch Hamburger Seasoning
• Homemade Hamburger Buns
• Toppings of choice: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard, etc

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Prepare: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2Mix: Place the ground beef in a medium bowl. Top with the oil and hamburger seasoning. With your hands, gently combine, then shape into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. Divide the patties between the two baking sheets, leaving plenty of space between each (place no more than 4 patties per sheet to allow room for the juices to release.
3. 3Bake the hamburgers in the oven until they register 140°F to 145°F for medium, about 8 to 10 minutes, switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks halfway through. If you'd like to add cheese, place it on top of the patties halfway through cooking.
4. 4Serve: Transfer the burges to a plate. Let rest a few minutes then serve on buns with any desired toppings.
