And you don\u2019t have to visit a drive-thru to make this meal convenient. We\u2019ll show you how to bake burgers in the oven so you can get a delicious dinner on the table in only 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Cook Burgers in the Oven<\/h2>\n<p>The process for oven-baked burgers is similar to grilled or <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofhome.com\/article\/pan-fried-burgers\/\" data-name=\"tasteofhome.com\/article\/pan-fried-burgers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pan-fried burgers<\/a>. First, shape the ground beef into 1-inch-thick burger patties. There\u2019s no need to press or squeeze the meat together here\u2014the patties will hold their shape and overworking the meat can make the burgers dense. Use your thumb to press a divot into the middle of each patty to prevent them from shrinking while they bake.<\/p>\n<p>Then, instead of preheating the grill or a cast-iron skillet, you&#8217;ll preheat the oven. We show how to cook burgers in the oven at 350\u00b0F, a gentle temperature that bakes the burgers to 160\u00b0 in about 20 minutes. Of course, the total cooking time varies depending on the size and thickness of the burger patties. Using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-you-need-an-instant-read-meat-thermometer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-you-need-an-instant-read-meat-thermometer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">instant-read meat thermometer<\/a> is more reliable than a timer.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, plate the baked burgers on a soft bun.

For how to bake burgers from frozen, simply increase the cooking time as needed for a thermometer to read 160\u00b0.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you flip baked burgers?<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend flipping burgers about halfway to promote even heating. Flipping also allows both sides of the burger to brown for a crisper exterior.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it better to cook burgers in the oven or on the stove?<\/h3>\n<p>Stovetop and oven-baked burgers each have advantages and disadvantages, so it&#8217;s up to your preference. Baked burgers are a nearly hands-off cooking method that won\u2019t fill your kitchen with the smell of frying beef. Cleanup is also easier with baked burgers, as stovetop burgers create a greasy splatter on the countertop.<\/p>\n<p>However, pan-fried burgers have crispy exteriors from being seared in a hot cast-iron skillet. And cooking burgers on the stovetop won\u2019t heat the house as much as baking burgers in the oven.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do you put a thumbprint in a burger?<\/h3>\n<p>Adding a small divot to the middle of each burger patty helps circulate air around the burger and prevents it from bulging up in the center. That means it will cook more evenly and won&#8217;t shrink as much as it cooks.
