What it is

To cook, place the frozen patties in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Alternatively, they can be cooked in the oven on a baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Microwaving is also an option for a very quick meal, following package directions. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
