What’s in Baked Burgers?
Sometimes grilling burgers just isn’t an option, but you can broil them in the oven instead. It’s an easy method for cooking hamburgers, it’s quick, and they come out nice and juicy.
Ground Chuck: My favorite kind of meat for burgers. It’s fattier and more flavorful than traditional ground beef. Salt + Pepper: Enhances the flavor of the meat. If you want to enhance the flavor a little more, use this simple burger seasoning instead. Cheese: For all my cheese lovers, use your favorite cheese to turn these burgers into cheeseburgers. Burger Buns: Grab your favorite buns for serving. Brioche buns are a great way to make them feel a little more gourmet, but any type is fine. Toppings: I went for the classics– ketchup, lettuce, onion, and tomato– but the sky’s the limit!
Pro Tip: Don’t overmix the ground beef; otherwise, it could make the burgers tough and chewy!
Variations on Burgers in the Oven
There are so many ways to jazz up these classic baked hamburgers. Add some spicy mayo, cheddar cheese, bacon, avocado, and onion rings to make cowboy burgers. Or, add some barbecue sauce to make BBQ burgers. Some caramelized onions and Swiss cheese will turn these into caramelized onion Swiss burgers, and a fried egg can be the perfect start to a breakfast burger. The possibilities are endless!
How to Store and Reheat
Once cooked, let your baked hamburgers cool to room temperature. Store them in a resealable bag, airtight container, or wrapped tightly in aluminum foil. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat the burger patties in a 350°F oven for about 7 minutes, or until warmed through.
How to Freeze
To freeze homemade burger patties, let them cool completely. I recommend wrapping each one separately with aluminum foil, and then placing them all in a freezer-safe, resealable bag. Freeze for 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
I love topping my baked hamburgers with lettuce, tomato, onions, and ketchup. Some honey mustard or my all-time favorite burger sauce an add a bit more flavor. A few strips of sweet and spicy bacon would be so yummy, and this sweet pickle relish adds a fresh flavor. But this meal isn’t complete without the classic sides! Some French fries, sweet potato fries, or tater tots would be delish! Coleslaw, mac and cheese, or cucumber tomato salad also pair super well.
