Baked Hamburgers Recipe

• porções: 4 servings
• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 18 minutes

Ingredientes

1 lb. ground chuck (or your favorite burger blend)

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

4 slices cheese

4 burger buns (lightly buttered and toasted)

Instruções

Heat oven to broil (high) and set the oven rack to the upper-middle position.

Line a cast iron grill pan or baking sheet with foil.

Shape

Divide the meat into four 4-oz. portions. Very gently, and without overworking the meat, form each portion into 4 loose balls. Place one ball on a dessert plate or other flat surface and gently press it down to make a disc about ½-¾ inch thick (your personal choice). Now gently turn the disc around while slightly pressing an indentation around the edge (kind of like a moat right inside the burger’s edge). This will keep the burger from developing a mound in the middle, and your burger will remain flat while cooking. Place the burger on the prepared pan and repeat the process with the remaining portions of beef.

Season both sides of each burger generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and place the burgers in the oven.

Broil for 4 minutes, or until the top has browned and beginning to char.

Flip the burgers over and broil until the center reads 155°F internally, about 3-4 minutes longer.

Top each burger with a slice of your favorite cheese, if desired, and cook just until the cheese melts.

Transfer the burgers to a cooling rack and tent with foil to allow time for the internal temperature to reach 160°F.

Serve the burgers on toasted buns and top with the condiments of your choice.
