These 4-Ingredient Oven Beef Burger Patties turn straight-from-the-freezer patties into an easy sheet-pan dinner. A quick mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard sauce gives the beef a creamy, tangy topping while it bakes. Serve the patties with mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or a toasted bun.
4-Ingredient Oven Beef Using Frozen Beef Burger Patties
Serves: 4 | Prep: 10 minutes | Bake: 30–35 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 frozen beef burger patties, about 4 ounces each
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Directions
1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a metal baking sheet with foil; lightly grease the foil if you like. Place the frozen patties in one layer with space between them. There is no need to thaw them.
2. Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard together until smooth. Spoon the sauce over the patties, spreading it across each top.
3. Bake on the middle rack for 20 minutes. Carefully flip the patties, spooning some pan sauce and drippings back over them. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Check the center with a meat thermometer. The ground beef should reach 160°F (71°C). If it needs more time, bake in 3- to 5-minute increments and check again. Rest for 3 to 5 minutes, then serve hot with the pan sauce.
Serving Ideas and Tips
Mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or rice catch the extra sauce. Add green beans or a salad for a simple side. For a lighter sauce, replace half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. Garlic powder, smoked paprika, or a dash of hot sauce can add another layer of flavor. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and reheat them thoroughly.
