Wild rice gives these delicious beef burgers an earthy texture while Gorgonzola cheese and fresh rosemary deliver a big punch of flavor.  Best of all, they’re cooked in the oven and ready to eat in about 10 minutes!   JUMP TO RECIPE

It’s universally accepted that the best method for cooking hamburgers is grilling, but for those occasions when grilling is not possible, you can still have perfectly cooked burgers by using the same oven roasting technique I employ when I make these delicious Oven Roasted Gorgonzola Wild Rice Hamburgers. Oven roasting is hassle-free and results in burgers that are more juicy than ones cooked on the grill because with oven roasting, none of the juices are pressed out with a spatula the way they typically are with grilled burgers. Although the cooking method used in this recipe is a little unorthodox, it’s the burgers themselves that really stand out. Wild rice gives them a wonderful, earthy quality while Gorgonzola cheese and fresh rosemary deliver a big punch of flavor. These are definitely not your average hamburgers, and, best of all, they can be cooked to perfection in about 10 minutes. (more…)
