Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef I use 93% lean
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil omit if using 85% lean
1 batch Hamburger Seasoning
Homemade Hamburger Buns
Toppings of choice: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard, etc

Instructions

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the ground beef in a medium bowl. Top with the oil and hamburger seasoning. With your hands, gently combine, then shape into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. Divide the patties between the two baking sheets, leaving plenty of space between each (place no more than 4 patties per sheet to allow room for the juices to release.
Bake the hamburgers in the oven until they register 140°F to 145°F for medium, about 8 to 10 minutes, switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks halfway through. If you'd like to add cheese, place it on top of the patties halfway through cooking.
Transfer the burges to a plate. Let rest a few minutes then serve on buns with any desired toppings.
