Amish Oven BBQ Burgers Recipe
Introduction
Amish Oven BBQ Burgers offer a simple, flavorful twist on the classic burger by baking them in the oven with a tangy BBQ sauce. This easy method ensures juicy, tender patties perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon seasoning (such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine the ground beef and seasoning, mixing gently to distribute the flavors without overworking the meat.
- Step 2: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased pan.
- Step 3: Brush the top of each patty generously with BBQ sauce. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the burgers are cooked through but still juicy.
- Step 4: Remove from the oven and let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. Brush with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Use a blend of your favorite seasonings such as smoked paprika, onion powder, or cayenne for extra flavor.
- Try mixing in finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the ground beef for added texture and taste.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles for a complete meal.
- For a leaner option, substitute half of the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
Storage
Store leftover burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in the oven or microwave until heated through to maintain juiciness. Avoid overcooking during reheating to prevent dryness.

FAQs
Can I grill these burgers instead of baking?
Yes, you can grill the patties and brush them with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to achieve a similar flavor and juiciness.
What type of BBQ sauce works best?
Any BBQ sauce you enjoy will work, but thicker, smoky sauces tend to complement the beef well and hold up better during baking.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend preferred for juiciness)
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to heat while you prepare the patties.
- Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat. Divide the seasoned meat into 4 equal portions and form each into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick.

- Finish Baking: Return the patties to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are cooked through but still juicy.
- Rest and Serve: Let the burgers rest for 3-5 minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute. Serve with additional BBQ sauce if desired and your favorite burger toppings and buns.
Notes
- Do not overmix the ground beef to keep the burgers tender.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach safe internal temperature without drying out.
- You can customize the seasoning mix to your preference, adding smoked paprika or cayenne for extra flavor.
- For a lower fat option, use ground beef with a leaner ratio, but cooking time may vary slightly.
- These burgers are delicious served with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad.
