Shortcut Baked Swiss Hamburgers
Swiss steak is a slow-cooked beef with a tomato-based gravy. We’ve taken that idea and made Swiss Hamburgers to take advantage of frozen hamburger patties in an easy recipe with a rich, tomato-based sauce.
Ingredients
- 6 frozen hamburger patties
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Place frozen hamburger patties on an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet.
- Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over hamburger patties. Cover with foil.
- Bake at 325°F for 1 hour.
