Boat Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 egg
1 cup instant oatmeal
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 hot dog buns
6 slices American cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix ground beef and egg together in a large bowl; add oatmeal, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Arrange hot dog buns on a baking sheet. Spoon ground beef mixture into each bun.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add an American cheese slice to each 'boat burger'; continue baking until ground beef is fully cooked and buns are crispy, 10 to 12 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
