- 1-8 frozen burger patties beef, turkey, veggie, etc. See note 1 for homemade recipe
- Extra seasoning optional, see note 2 for ideas
- Cooking spray optional
- Cheese optional
- Buns and toppings to serve
Begin by preheating the oven to 200°C/400°F/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.
(Optional) In a baking tray, add a layer of aluminum foil (or parchment paper) to the bottom. This will catch any drippings and make clean-up easier.
Place a metal wire rack over the aluminum foil and then add the frozen hamburger patties on top in a single layer. I can usually fit 6 burgers on one tray.
When the oven is ready, bake the patties for 25-30 minutes until they are cooked through (see note 3). Tip: If you're baking raw frozen beef burgers, add an extra 10 minutes.
Check that the burgers are ready by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. When the instant-read thermometer reads 71°C/160 degrees F, they are ready to eat.
Optionally, you can broil the burgers under the hot grill in your oven for 1-2 minutes to give them a nice crust.
Another option right before serving is adding some cheese slices. Again, broil the burgers with a slice of cheese on top of each for about a minute until the cheese begins to melt. You don't want it to melt too much or it'll ooze off of the burger into the extra fat below!
Add these flavorful burgers to your favorite bun or a salad bowl with all of the toppings and enjoy!

- Cooking time: The cook time depends on the thickness of the burgers and also your oven. Some ovens run a little cooler over time as the thermostat can become less efficient. The best way to make sure the burgers are cooked properly is to check them with a meat thermometer.
