How to make Oven Baked Burgers
- Divide the ground beef into four equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty using either a patty shaper or your hands.
- Place the patties in the cast iron pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes (or depending on the doneness; see chart in notes). Remove from oven and separate burgers.
- If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty and return to the turned-off oven. Let stand for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Place each burger on a bun. Top with your favorite condiments, lettuce, and tomato slices. 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.
