  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices Cheese optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then place a wire rack on top.

  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty slightly wider than the hamburger buns. Press a small indent into the center of each patty with your fingers. Place patties on the wire rack.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the center of each burger reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Do not flip.
  • If using cheese, add a slice to each burger during the last 1 to 2 minutes of baking.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing: Mix the beef only until the seasonings are evenly spread through the meat. Overmixing can make burgers firm.
  • Air fryer or convection oven: Cook fresh patties at 375°F for about 12 minutes. Frozen patties usually take 16 to 17 minutes. Check the internal temperature before serving.
  • Frozen patties: Bake frozen homemade or store-bought patties at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Check that they reach 160°F.
  • No wire rack? You can bake patties directly on a foil-lined sheet pan, but a rack helps excess grease drain away.
  • Freeze ahead: Place parchment paper between uncooked patties, store in a freezer bag, and freeze. Defrost in refrigerator overnight or bake from frozen for 5 minutes longer.
  • Seasoning note: If your all-purpose seasoning contains plenty of salt, you can leave out the extra ¼ teaspoon salt.
Nutrition estimate includes cheese and hamburger buns, but no other toppings.
