Making hamburgers has always been something we like to do with the family. It’s also one of my quick go-to easy recipes that I know everyone is going to love and enjoy. In fact, I have been known to skip the grill and oven bake hamburgers just to escape from the blistering Louisiana heat.

4. Cook on 370 degrees for 6 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 6 minutes. If desired, add a slice of cheese to the burgers and cook an additional minute until the cheese is melted.
