Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Tomato slices
• 4 slices Pickles (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the seasoning is evenly distributed without overworking the meat.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 4

Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty, then return them to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns. Toast the buns in a separate skillet over medium heat or in the oven for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup and mustard (if using) on the bottom bun. Add a patty with melted cheese, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the upper bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your easy oven hamburgers!
