Daddy’s Baked Hamburgers
Description
This recipe starts by shaping ground beef portions flattened directly on ciabatta or sourdough rolls, incorporating Worcestershire sauce and seasoning including garlic salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Butter pats are placed on each patty before baking to enrich flavor and moisture during the baking process.
The burgers cook in a hot oven for 25 minutes before adding cheese slices and continuing to bake briefly until melted. The baking rack placement ensures even cooking around the patties. The combination of seasoning and butter results in flavorful, tender beef without the need for stovetop grilling.
These baked hamburgers serve quickly after baking and pair well with salad or classic burger toppings. By baking instead of frying or grilling, cleanup is simplified, and the method yields consistent results for evenly cooked burgers.
The notes indicate that additional baking time can increase the doneness level if preferred, allowing customization of burger cook through this simple adjustment.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef 85% lean
- 4 ciabatta rolls halved, or sourdough rolls, small
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 8 tablespoons butter divided
- 8 lices cheddar cheese medium
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F with the baking rack in the middle of the oven.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet and set aside. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal ¼ pound portions. Smash one beef portion flat, place on a roll, and shape the patty to the edges. Repeat with the rest of the ground beef.
- Drizzle ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce on each patty, then season each with garlic salt, pepper, and onion powder. Top each patty with a pat of butter.
- Bake the burgers for 25 minutes. Remove and add a slice of cheese to each burger and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from oven and serve immediately.*
Notes
- For more well-done burgers, increase cooking time by a few minutes before adding the cheese.
- Use small sandwich rolls like ciabatta or sourdough for best texture and size compatibility.
- Serve immediately after baking to retain meat juiciness and melted cheese quality.
