FAQ
Can I make these burgers ahead and freeze them?
Yes, freeze uncooked patties up to 3 months stacked between parchment. Grill from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes per side. Or freeze cooked patties and reheat gently.
What if I don't have a grill?
Cook patties in a skillet over medium-high heat 4-5 minutes per side until 160°F internal temperature. Toast rolls in a dry skillet or oven at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
How long can cooked burgers sit before serving?
Keep finished burgers warm on a cooler grill or low oven (200°F) for up to 30 minutes. Assemble closer to serving time to prevent soggy rolls.
