Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix ground chuck, eggs, bread, milk, and onion into little patties about 2 inches thick.
- Fry lightly in a pan until slightly brown.
- Transfer the patties to a medium casserole dish.
- Mix celery salt, salt, and pepper, and dilute the cream of mushroom soup with half a can of water.
- Pour the soup mixture over the ground chuck, covering the patties.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 1 1/2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a juicy burger, ensure not to overmix the ground chuck. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. If you don’t have celery salt, a mix of regular salt and a bit of chopped celery can work as a substitute. Adding some Worcestershire sauce to the mixture can enhance the flavor. Consider using breadcrumbs instead of bread for a firmer texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these baked hamburgers with a side of Fresh Vegetables And Dip for a refreshing contrast. They pair nicely with mashed potatoes or a simple salad. Top the patties with your favorite condiments, like ketchup or mustard, and consider adding a slice of cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for an extra indulgent touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover baked hamburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the patties in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them, covered, for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the patties in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to cover them to prevent drying out. This can save time on busy days, allowing you to enjoy these delicious baked hamburgers with minimal effort.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup or a homemade white sauce. For a vegetarian option, consider using a plant-based cream soup. Just ensure that the consistency is similar to the cream of mushroom for best results.
Can I freeze baked hamburgers?
Absolutely! Baked hamburgers can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place them in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake at 350°F until heated through.
