They're easy to make and baked to perfection.
Living in Upstate New York, growing up we had more cold weather than warm, mom did most of the cooking in our oven or stovetop.
It was a treat to have burgers on a charcoal grill back in the 1960s.
We love burgers and made several kinds.
Some other favorites were Big Juicy Merlot Burgers, Garlic Parmesan Burgers, Chili Cheese Dog Topped Burgers, and her delicious Provolone Alfredo Burger.
She only used simple pantry ingredients, easy to make them and perfectly seasoned Italian style burgers are still a favorite here.
Baking Hamburgers
It's pretty obvious baking is a healthy alternative to many forms of cooking.
Mom always either broiled or baked most of our meats in the 1960s.
It's easier and if you have a baking rack to set them on, you can even remove most of the grease released from them while they cook.
One pan I invested in was a cast-iron gridded pan so the burgers don't sit in grease as they bake.
Easy Side Dishes
Serving sides were either Dad's Homemade Home Fries or Seasoned Italian Frenc Fries.
We also loved mom's pasta salad or potato salad another winner in our home.
Potato sides were the favorite with any meat here is a roundup of recipes click here.
