    Baked Cheeseburgers?!

    YUP.

    And your taste buds are going to thank me.

    Because while those charred, smoky, fresh-off-the-grill burgers are delightful… these Baked Cheeseburgers are quite tasty my friend! I might even dare to say they are better?!

    I think one reason these Baked Cheeseburgers are better is this cheese I found. It’s thick cut, and is the perfect combination of cheddar, bacon, and smoke. (See! Still getting the smoke flavor, even without the grill!) I highly recommend you try to find something similar in your local grocery store.

    The other reason these Baked Cheeseburgers are better is that I didn’t have to stand outside and roast myself in the heat while I grilled a batch of burgers. I assembled them (in the heavenly air conditioning!) all in one pan and popped them into the oven. Pro tip to make these the easiest burgers ever is: keep browned ground beef in your freezer! If you do THAT, then this becomes a one-dish-dinner!! 

    Okay, wait one more reason why these are so awesome. The buns!! Some melted butter and seasoned breadcrumbs on top makes these buns toasted to perfection. Warm, slightly crisp, buttery, and with a little zing of flavor. Are you drooling yet?! Slider buns would be fun for these too! Especially for the kiddos.

    So, to sum this all up. Less dishes, less standing outside in the summer heat, and extra delicious cheese makes Baked Cheeseburgers the best thing since… grilled burgers?! 😉

    Let’s get to cookin’

    Well. Scrolling I guess. Scroll down the page and see how easy these preparation steps are!!

    P.S. This would be fabulous with slider buns too – use 12 slider buns instead of 6 hamburger buns!
