Loose Meat Sheet Pan Burgers

This type of burger can be made for a crowd, although this particular recipe is for 4 people. Instead of frying up a number of burgers, just cook up some well seasoned beef ahead of time and you're good to go! 

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground beef

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dry minced onion

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup diced onion

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

4 burger buns

4 slices processed cheddar cheese

pickle slices

Bun coating:

2 tbsps butter, melted

salt to taste

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 1/2 tsps Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard 

sesame seeds (optional) 

First brown the beef and onion with garlic powder, dry minced onion, salt, pepper, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool. This can be a make ahead step to come back to later in the day. Next lay the buns opened on a lined baking sheet. Spoon beef mixture onto the bottoms and give each a firm press with your hand. Add a slice of cheese and some pickles on each them put the bun top in place. Mix the coating ingredients together and brush on top. If you don't use sesame seed buns you can sprinkle sesames seed on top. Bake at 375°F for 15-18 minutes. As I said earlier this recipe serves 4 but may be doubled or made for as many as you need to feed.
