Bacon Hamburger Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed hamburger patties that have bacon mixed directly into the ground beef. The bacon is typically chopped or ground and incorporated evenly throughout the meat. This method ensures that the smoky, salty flavor of bacon is present in every bite of the cooked patty. They are designed for convenience, offering a shortcut to a bacon-infused burger without the need to cook bacon separately and add it yourself. The texture is similar to a standard hamburger patty, but with the added richness from the rendered bacon fat.
How people cook with it
These patties are a quick and easy way to elevate a classic burger. They are perfect for grilling or pan-frying.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Backyard barbecues
- Casual entertaining
- Simple meal preparation
To cook, place the frozen patties on a preheated grill or in 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 and cooked through. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking, as this can squeeze out the flavorful juices. Once cooked, they can be placed on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese, for a delicious and convenient meal. The bacon within the patty provides a savory depth.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a standard hamburger where bacon is added as a separate topping, these patties have the bacon incorporated into the meat itself. This results in a more uniform distribution of bacon flavor and fat throughout the patty. It also means less prep work for the cook, as the bacon is already integrated.

How to keep the rest
Keep these patties frozen until ready to use. Store them in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Once thawed, they should be cooked immediately and not refrozen. Ensure the packaging is sealed to prevent freezer burn and maintain quality.
