How to Cook Burgers in the Oven

Before our long-distance move, we decided not to bring our grill along with us (it was old and dirty, plus we ran out of space in the U-Haul!). We have yet to replace it three months later. Luckily, I found a convenient way to cook burgers inside so we can still enjoy one of our favorite summertime dinners!

How to Cook Burgers in the Oven
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 8 ground beef burger patties (about 1/3 lb each)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Line sheet pan with foil using two pieces folded together that extend over all four sides of pan. (This makes for easy clean up later!)
3. Place piece of parchment paper on top of foil. Line up 8 burgers on parchment (leave space in between and do not overlap).
4. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until each burger reaches internal temperature of 145-150°F.
