OVEN-BAKED BURGERS RECIPE

A crispy coating mix is the secret ingredient that dresses up these baked burgers. You bake them in the oven instead of grilling or frying. Use a sweet and spicy steak sauce for the best flavor. This is how to cook burgers in the oven.

INGREDIENTS

·         1/4 cup steak sauce

·         2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup seasoned coating mix, divided

·         1 pound ground beef

Test Kitchen Tips

·      Beef tenderloin is a lean cut of beef and a good source of protein. Eating protein increases the feeling of being satisfied and may help curb cravings for carbs and fats.

·      It’s smart to double up on your prep and freeze half of the recipe for future meals. Many meatballs, burger patties and taco fillings also freeze well.
