I placed the bottom bun pieces into the greased baking dish and spread them out evenly.

I poured some melted butter evenly over the bun pieces.

 STEP 8: 

I placed the baking dish in the oven and toasted the bun pieces for about 8 minutes.

Once the buns were lightly toasted I removed the dish from the oven.

 STEP 9: 

I spooned the ground beef mixture over the buns in the baking dish and spread it out evenly.

I sprinkled some shredded cheddar cheese over the ground beef mixture.

 STEP 10: 

I placed the tops of the hamburger buns over the cheese.

I brushed the tops of the buns with melted butter.
