Baked Cheesy Meat Patties

Some dinners just feel like home the moment they come out of the oven—the kind that fills the kitchen with savory aromas and makes everyone wander in asking, “Is it ready yet?” For us, Baked Cheesy Meat Patties are exactly that kind of meal.

I still remember the first time I made them on a chilly weeknight when I needed comfort without complication. A pound of ground beef, a block of cheese that had to be used, and zero energy for anything fussy. I pressed the patties together, sprinkled on cheese, slid the tray into the oven… and the smell alone told me this recipe was a keeper.

Since then, these patties have become a regular at our table—perfect for busy school nights, lazy Sundays, or casual family gatherings. They’re simple, hearty, and always satisfying: warm, cheesy, juicy, and guaranteed to bring everyone together.

If you’re searching for a cozy dinner that’s easy enough for weeknights but special enough for any season, this recipe is it. Everyday ingredients, baked to perfection, loved by kids and adults alike.
