Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Divide the 1 lb ground beef into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty using a patty shaper or your hands, keeping the patties roughly the same thickness so they cook evenly.
- Season both sides of each patty with seasoning of your choice.
- Arrange the patties in an ovenproof skillet or baking dish so they do not touch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the patties reach your desired doneness. For a fully cooked burger, the internal temperature should reach 160°F.
- Remove the pan from the oven. If you want cheeseburgers, place one of the 4 slices of cheese on each patty, turn the oven off, return the pan to the warm oven, and let stand 2–3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Place each burger on a hamburger bun. Top with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, and add fresh lettuce and fresh sliced tomato as desired.
- Serve immediately.
Equipment
- Cast-Iron Skillet
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.
