🛒 Ingredients

4 frozen beef burger patties

¼ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a small bowl, combine:

Softened cream cheese

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Salt

Black pepper

Mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble

Place the frozen burger patties on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the top of each patty, as shown in the photo.

4. Bake

Bake for 20 minutes.

If using cheddar cheese, remove the tray from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the patties, and return to the oven for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the burgers are fully cooked.

5. Check for Doneness

The internal temperature of the burgers should reach 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

6. Serve

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with:

Toasted burger buns

Mashed potatoes

French fries

Roasted vegetables

A crisp green salad

💡 Chef's Tips

Allow the cream cheese to soften before mixing for easier spreading.

Add crispy bacon bits or sliced jalapeños to the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.

For a richer finish, place the patties under the broiler for 1–2 minutes at the end of cooking.

The result?

Juicy beef burgers with a luscious, creamy topping that melts beautifully into the meat—an easy comfort-food dinner your family will ask for again and again.
