Baked Burgers

Ever feel like eating a burger but don't want to stand in the rain BBQ'ing? That was us last night. I read a few tips online about baking burgers and decided to go with this method and recipe. They were so juicy and delicious! We all got our cheeseburger fill AND voted to make these again! Enjoy!

p.s. Don't forget my tip about buying ground beef. Definitely take a trip to your butcher and buy it there. It will taste better, be better for you, and generally will be better on your wallet. Our butcher puts ground beef on for $2 per lb. That's half the price of the grocery store!

Baked Burgers

• splash of olive oil
• 1.5 lbs ground beef
• 1 tbsp worchestershire sauce
• 1 tsp onion salt
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• fresh cracked pepper
• 6 or more slices of cheese

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line baking sheet with tinfoil, then place rack on sheet. Heat cast iron skillet for a few minutes before adding oil.
2. While everything is heating up, gently mix together beef, worchestershire sauce, onion salt, garlic salt and pepper. Divide meat into 6 portions and form into patties.
3. Add oil to skillet, then add patties. Cook on high for 2 minutes each side (or until browned nicely). Transfer to rack on cookie sheet and bake in oven for about 12 minutes. Top with cheese, then pop back in the oven for another minute or two, or until cheese is fully melted.
4. Remove from oven, place on bun, add fixings, and ENJOY!
