Oven Baked Burgers Recipe
This Oven Baked Burgers Recipe is the only way I prepare hamburgers at home. We pan fry the burger patties, assemble the burgers with cheese and secret sauce, wrap then bake to perfection. These are called Messy Burgers at my house, a five napkin meal!

Hamburgers In The Oven
When I say these are Messy Burgers I’m not exaggerating. Line up the napkins and get ready to hunch over your plate while you enjoy this cheeseburger. But trust me, the mess is worth it. Between the burger juices, melty cheese and secret sauce. . . the delicious mess is where the flavor is.
Make two fatty burgers with this recipe or 4 quarter pounders. While these are oven baked burgers, we do pan fry the patties first to get that char and seal in the juices. You want to undercook the patties slightly so that they finish cooking while in the oven.

Can you use a a gluten-free bun?
no. the hamburger will know and refuse to stay on the bun.
Bottom bun was stuck to the tinfoil and the top bun was hard. The patty would not stay on the bun. Taste was good but will not make this again like it the recipe says
These were great! Wondering how do you warm up leftover burgers? Just keep in foil and back in oven?
