Notes

  • Nutrition information is for burger only. It does not include bun or toppings.
  • Make Ahead: Make the burgers but don't bake them. They can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for up to three months. To freeze, put a small piece of parchment paper, waxed paper, or plastic wrap between each burger and place in zip top bag. Add a few minutes to baking time if baking frozen patties (don't thaw first).
