How To Grill Frozen Burgers

Grill Frozen Burgers

5 from 1 vote
Fresh, thawed burger meat is typically the optimal choice for grilling but sometimes there’s no choice but to grill the burgers while they are still frozen. Grilling frozen burgers isn’t much different than grilling them when they’re thawed. The only tricky part may be separating the patties when they are still frozen.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Frozen Burgers
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 Hamburger buns
  • 1 tbs Melted butter
  • Burger toppings of your choice

Method
 

  1. To prevent the burger patties from sticking to the grill, you’ll want to preheat it. Get the grill up to 350 degrees for about 10 minute
Prep The Patties
  1. Separate the frozen patties. You may have to use a butter knife or other utensil to pry the patties apart if they’re frozen together.
  2. Season each patty with salt and pepper and any other spices of your choice. Don’t forget to season both sides!
  3. To make sure it cooks evenly through, you’re going to flip it every few minutes. This could be anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how thick the burger patties are.
  4. If your burgers are caught in a flare-up, move them to keep them from getting scorched as this can affect the taste of the patty.
  5. Periodically moving the burgers around the grill as they are cooking will help prevent flare-ups and hot spots that can impact how the burgers cook.
  6. Using a meat thermometer, check your burgers to make sure they’re cooked thoroughly before serving. Checking the temperature while the meat is still on the grill can cause an inaccurate reading. Remove the patty temporarily from the grill and check the internal temperature of the burger.
  7. If you're adding cheese, do it now.
  8. Once it reaches 160 degrees, you can remove the patties from the grill and get them ready to be served.
Toast The Buns
  1. Melt the butter
  2. Spread melted butter on the flat side of the buns and place them face down on the grill top rack of the grill.
  3. Keep them toasting at a lower temperature to avoid burning them.
