How to Cook Burgers in the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grab a rimmed baking sheet and wire rack to use later.
Add the ground beef and beef seasoning to a bowl and mix until just combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each one into a tight ball. Use your hands to flatten each ball into a disc, making it thinner in the center. Smooth any cracks at the edges with the palm of your hand.
Place the burger patties onto a wire rack and set the rack onto a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake the hamburger patties for 25-30 minutes until they’re no longer pink in the middle and reach a safe internal temperature.
Place a slice of cheese on each patty and then turn the oven to a low broil. Broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve on the buns and add the burger toppings of your choice!
How to Store Leftover Burgers
FRIDGE: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container or wrap each patty individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
FREEZER: Place patties into an airtight container, or wrap individually and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, freeze without cheese. Thaw completely before reheating.
How to Reheat Leftover Hamburgers
Reheat burgers in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
