So I know that you know we are so busy around our house (I say it enough) and I bet you are too! And even if you’re not really busy..well who likes to clean up a messy kitchen!? The other day my fam was requesting burgers for dinner, but it seemed like I had just cleaned the kitchen..again..
I didn’t want the greasy mess of burgers..and although I had pre made frozen burgers..I still didn’t want the mess of frying burgers and it was way to wet and rainy to grill on the Barbeque. So I thought and thought how I could escape this little duty..and came up with this little idea! Cook them in the oven. I had no idea if this would really work..but hey..I’ll try anything to get out of a little work!
So I Decided to try Cooking Burgers in the Oven!
Here is what I did..
Line a Cookie Sheet with foil..
Put Cooling Racks on top of foil..Spray with Cooking Oil..easy clean up..
Lay out Frozen Burgers onto racks..
Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes..then turn over and Top with Cheese for an additional 5
Oh and I broiled for just a few seconds..to make them “look grilled”
(Be sure and check for doneness)
That’s it!
Oh and Clean Up..
Put Racks in Dishwasher..
And throw foil away!
So what do you think? It took me a matter of minutes of my time for clean up.. from start to finish. Not including cooking time of course
Ok Your turn..What things do YOU do differently to keep clean up to a minimum in your busy kitchen?




































I get take out ALOT (lol)! Keith had a burger tonight where they took beef brisket cooked well done and then ground it up and mixed it with chuck. The most moist beef patty I’ve ever had! now, that’s something I’d love to recreate whether in the oven or on the grill.

Wow that sounds deeelish!! I was going to get a meat grinder once upon a moon..but I just decided not too..I do have a cuisinart I could try to do this with that though..I’ve just never done it..but you are really tempting me to try something new!
Have a great day!!
If you end up trying it, definitely let me know what you think.
I will definately do that Fawn!!
This is a great cooking tip! I can’t wait to try it! Right now, my grill is covered in snow. There’s no way I’m grilling anything right now!

Yes it’s not a good time of year to be grilling for sure..and frying is tasty..but messy..So there you go..cooking in the oven..LOL Thanks for stopping by Ginny!!
Wow! Wish i would have thought of this last week when we were craving burgers, but our propane was empty
We of course fried them up in a pan… good burgers…. AWFUL mess! Next time, we are doing it your way! Thx for the tip!
LOL..it worked great..You can always count on me for the Ummm Lazy..I mean genius way out! LOL
Can’t wait to try this. We don’t have a grill anymore so burgers get cooked on the griddle, which makes a big mess. Your way looks awesome! I cook bacon in the microwave on paper plates and paper towels so after it’s cooked (perfectly) I just throw away the grease soaked paper plates and towels. Clean up done!
Happy Sharefest. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
