- Grilling burgers
- Pan-frying for sandwiches

- Serving with side dishes
To cook, place the frozen patties on a preheated grill or in a hot skillet. Cook for several minutes on each side until they reach your desired level of doneness. For grilling, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for well-done. In a skillet, they can be cooked over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally. Ensure they are thoroughly cooked through before serving. You can add seasonings like salt and pepper before or after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
