How people cook with it
Ground beef patties are a versatile ingredient in many dishes.
- Grilling
- Pan-frying
- Broiling
- Adding to sandwiches
To cook, place the patty in a preheated pan or on a grill over medium-high heat. Cook for several minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare patty, aim for an internal temperature of around 130-135°F. For medium, aim for 140-145°F. Ensure the patty is cooked through before serving. You can season it with salt, pepper, or other desired spices before or during cooking.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
After purchase, store any unused patties in the refrigerator. Keep them in their original packaging or transfer to an airtight container. Consume within one to two days for optimal freshness. If not using within this timeframe, freezing is an option for longer storage.
