This recipe is sort of an inside-out cheeseburger, incorporating the shredded cheese right into the ground beef. The result is a moist, flavorful burger that tastes great with the addition of simple toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Generally, when we think about making burgers the first thing that comes to mind is the grill, but when the weather turns cold, grilling isn’t always an option.
Oven-baked burgers are easy to cook to the proper doneness, they don’t require turning, shrink less and all the fat drains out without splattering making for trouble-free cleanup.

How To Make Oven-Baked Burgers
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, line a baking pan with foil, and position a rack on top.
- Add the seasonings, a tablespoon of bread crumbs, and the shredded cheese to your ground beef and mix.
- Form four half-inch thick patties and arrange them on the rack.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes depending on how you like your burgers done.
- Let rest for five minutes before putting them on the buns and adding toppings.
