Servings: 8
Cost: $17.01, $2.13 per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
- 1 ½ tsp Salt
- ¾ tsp Pepper
- ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
- 8 Lettuce Leaves
- 1 Onion sliced
- 2 Tomatoes sliced
- 8 Hamburger Buns
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. Lightly coat the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions (about ¼ pound each). Gently shape each portion into a patty about 4½ inches wide and ¾-inch thick, pressing a slight indentation into the center of each patty to help prevent shrinking.
- Arrange the patties on the prepared wire rack, leaving a little space between each one.
- Season both sides of the burgers with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
- If using cheese: Place a slice of cheese on each burger during the last 1 minute of baking, just until melted.
- Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with a burger, sliced tomato, sliced onion, and the top bun.
- Serve immediately with your favorite burger toppings and sides.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftover burgers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- The cheese is optional but should be included in the ingredient list if you plan to use it.
- Avoid overworking the beef when forming the patties to keep the burgers tender.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the hamburger buns before assembling the burgers.
