If it's too cold to grill or you don't have a grill, enjoy the taste of juicy grilled burgers made at home in your oven. These hamburgers are packed with flavor, juice and add a hint of mesquite smoke flavor. Placing them in your oven makes it easy to keep an eye on them when you're preparing other dishes on the stove or composing a salad. Think about this recipe next time it's raining outside, but you want a good burger.

Combine 1 lb. fresh ground beef with 1 Tbsp. of spice, 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce and 1 Tbsp. barbecue sauce. Form the meat into four patties. When you form the patties, pack them loosely so that the burgers are juicy in the middle and crispy on the outside. Poke a hole or depress the middle to keep them from puffing up too much.

Cook for 10 minutes for medium rare, 15 minutes for well done or until they are done to your liking.
