Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Pickles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Mustard (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the seasoning is evenly distributed without overworking the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty, then return them to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
While the patties are cooking, lightly butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns. Toast the buns in a separate skillet over medium heat or in the oven for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup and mustard (if using) on the bottom bun. Add a patty with melted cheese, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the upper bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your easy oven hamburgers!
