Hey moms! Sit down, relax, and let these cheeseburgers cook in the oven, which guarantees juiciness every time.
Some chefs don’t fry burgers on the stovetop. Some know that real burger magic happens when you bake or roast your burger because the radiant heat coaxes all the flavor and tenderness out of the burgers that you really want.
My favorite thing about cooking burgers in the oven is that they come out juicy, and it’s also much easier than standing and frying them.
I mean, moms have enough standing, reaching, bending, cleaning, wiping, tending, diapering, and all that requires movement.
How about a whole oven-full of dinner? Below, I’m going to suggest a whole slew of sides that can cook right beside these burgers at the same temperature, so you can sit and get some much-needed rest while dinner cooks.
It’s easy to get hungry when your body is at rest. Moms need nutrition and protein-packed burgers so they can take care of their families with energy.
Which is what aboutamom.com is all about—helping you create quick meals that taste so delicious.

How Do I Store Leftovers?
Baked burger patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Store them in a freezer bag, separated and stacked with parchment paper. Reheat them in the microwave while wrapped in a wet paper towel to steam them to perfection using 1-minute bursts.
Serving Suggestions
I made this totally oven-roasted let-moms-sit-down meal for Beth and her family. First, I started the veggies for Roasted Vegetable Pasta, then slid in a pan of Easy Potato Wedges, which bake at 400°F for 35 minutes. I waited 10 more minutes and popped in the burgers, which take 20 minutes, leaving me time to check them for doneness and really watch them.
I also served a cold, layered bacon and ranch salad so this hungry family would have something to munch on while dinner was being brought to the table. Dessert? Easy No-Bake Banana Cream Pie, prepared earlier and chilled.
