Is it cheaper to make your own burger patties?

When you grind your own burger meat, you know where the beef is coming from, plus you are in control of the fat content and can customize the cuts of beef used. Because, it is a heck of a lot cheaper to grind your own meat versus purchasing prepackaged ground beef or beef patties.

How much does it cost to make homemade burgers?

Ingredients widely vary in raw cost. For example, the restaurant we surveyed bought its ground beef for $4.20 per pound. That means each quarter-pound patty (the standard in a burger) costs them $1.05 to produce. Onions are dramatically cheaper, at $16.87 for 50 pounds — or only slightly more than one cent per burger.

Are frozen hamburgers good?

In reality, frozen hamburger meat, properly thawed, tastes as good as fresh hamburger meat. It isn’t like Wendy’s is serving your burger medium-rare, but even if it did, it wouldn’t matter. Meanwhile, fresh meat is not intrinsically healthier or safer than frozen.

Do you thaw frozen burgers before cooking?

While some burgers are prepared from raw ground beef, others are cooked from frozen patties. Before you place frozen mouth-watering patties on the grill to sizzle, take the time to properly defrost the meat. Once thawed, the beef patties will cook more evenly, resulting in juicier, better-tasting burgers.

How do you keep frozen hamburger patties from sticking together?

Stack them with squares of parchment in between so they don’t stick before putting them in a resealable zipper top freezer bag. Be sure to get as much air out of the bag as possible when sealing it to help prevent freezer burn.
