  • Cook the patties thoroughly: Cook the hamburger patties until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-well. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.
  • Use a muffin tin: Baking the hamburger muffins in a muffin tin helps them retain their shape and makes them easy to serve.
  • Top with your favorite toppings: After baking, top the hamburger muffins with your favorite toppings such as cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
