Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rolled oats, chopped onion, egg, 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into 6 patties.
  4. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
  6. Spread this topping mixture evenly over the top of each burger patty.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the burgers are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead freezer meal, prepare the patties and freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time if needed.
  • These burgers are delicious served on buns with your favorite toppings.
  • This recipe is a great option for busy weeknights and can be considered a budget-friendly comfort food.
