Making these little burgers couldn’t be easier – you bake them in a pan and the cut the patties to be the exact size of your bun!

- Place slices of cheese in a single layer on top of the meat and return pan to oven for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt.

Baking hamburger meat and then cutting them up is one of those I ideas that is so easy and obvious I wish I had thought of it, myself. I tried them this evening. They were fantastic. My husband thought I was a genius, but I gave credit to you guys. I will definitely make these all the time. There are so many times I want to make hamburgers but don't want to fry them or go to the trouble to start up the grill. What a great idea for kids, too. Thanks.
