Topco 80/20 Lean Ground Beef Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed ground beef patties made from 80% lean and 20% fat beef. The fat content contributes to moisture and flavor during cooking. They come frozen, which helps preserve their freshness and quality until you are ready to use them. This product is designed for convenience, offering a quick way to prepare a classic meal.
How people cook with it
These beef patties are a versatile base for many meals. They are ideal for grilling or pan-frying.
- Grilling for backyard BBQs
- Pan-frying for quick weeknight dinners
- Serving on buns for classic burgers
- Adding to skillet meals
To cook, place the frozen patties directly onto a preheated grill or into a hot skillet. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe level and the patties are browned. Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook, as this can squeeze out the flavorful juices. They are best served hot, often placed on a bun with your favorite toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to leaner ground beef, the 20% fat content in these patties results in a juicier and more tender burger. This higher fat ratio also helps the patties hold their shape better during cooking and provides a richer flavor profile that many people prefer for burgers.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful option for burgers and other ground beef dishes.
How to keep the rest
Keep these beef patties frozen in your freezer until ready to use. Once thawed, they should be cooked promptly. If you have leftover cooked patties, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
