Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 for best flavour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 burger buns
- Optional toppings: cheese slices lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if available (for better air circulation).
Prepare Patties:

Bake Burgers:
- Place patties on the rack or directly on the foil-lined sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Add Cheese (Optional):
- In the last 2 minutes of baking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
Assemble and Serve:
- Place burgers in buns with your favourite toppings and condiments. Serve hot.
