Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lb ground beef, 80/20
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 4 hamburger buns, split
  • 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • Toppings of your choice

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the upper third. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Gently mix beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Shape into 4 patties slightly wider than the buns and press an indent in the center. Place on the sheet.
  2. Bake 8 minutes, until edges start to brown and centers are still pink (about 130°F / 54°C).
  3. Switch to broil on high. Top each patty with cheese and broil 2 to 3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and patty edges are deeply browned. Move patties to a plate and tent with foil.
  4. Pour off excess grease. Place buns cut side up on the same pan, brush with melted butter, and broil 1 minute until golden.
  5. Assemble burgers on toasted buns with your chosen toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

Let the cooked patties rest for 5 minutes before building the burgers. If you can, chill the shaped patties for 15 minutes while the oven heats; the cold fat helps develop an even better crust under the broiler.
