Cooking these from frozen yields the same result as thawed, and gives the patty a nice, consistent shape.
From Frozen:
To Open:
Run both sides of package under warm water for 30 seconds. Score burgers with a knife (serrated steak knife works well) on the bottom side opposite the label in an "X" shape like the picture below, running the knife over the edge of the burger a bit. Then pop the burgers right out of the package!
Stovetop:
STEP 1:
Preheat a non-stick pan over 7/10 heat.
STEP 2:
Add 1 teaspoon of high-heat cooking oil for each burger being cooked and the frozen burger(s) to the pan.
STEP 3:
Cook until desired internal temperature is reached (about 14-16 min total), flipping every 3-4 minutes to get an even crust on both sides. Transfer to a cutting board or plate to avoid overcooking and serve.
On the Grill:
STEP 1:
Preheat your grill on high heat. Oil your grill grates to avoid sticking.
STEP 2:
Add the burgers and cook, flipping every 4-5 minutes to get an even crust on both sides
STEP 3:
Cook until desired internal temperature is reached (about 14-16 min total). Transfer to a cutting board or plate to avoid overcooking and serve.
