• non-stick cooking spray

Creative variations to try

• If you prefer frozen turkey burgers instead of ground beef patties, follow these instructions. Just be sure to cook the turkey burgers until they reach a safe internal temperature.
• You could also brush your brush meat patties with barbecue sauce at the last minute of the cooking process for a flavorful twist.

Step-by-step instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. For complete directions, scroll down to the bottom!

1. Preheat your gas grill until it reaches 400 degrees. If you're using charcoal, light the coals and wait until become white. Spread out coals.
2. Place each frozen patty on the grate. Grill until juices just begin to emerge (about 5 minutes) and you have great grill marks, flip burgers, and grill on side two.
3. Season both sides with grill seasoning.
4. Add a slice of cheese the last minute of grilling so the cheese can melt.
5. Loosely cover cooked patties with aluminum foil patties until you're ready to build the burgers.
6. Top with your favorite fixings and enjoy!

Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)

Things to know

• Ensure your grill is preheated before you add your burgers to it. Food doesn't stick to a hot grill.
• I like to spray my grill grate with nonstick grilling spray to prevent the patties from sticking.
• Watch your burgers closely so that they don't burn, especially if you are using charcoal. It's harder to control the temperature on a charcoal grill..
• Once you see the juices start to emerge from the burgers, give them a flip and continue cooking on the other side.

How to store leftovers

Refrigerate - Cooked burgers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat the burger patties in a skillet on the stove on medium heat with a tablespoon of water. Or you can reheat it in the microwave until warm all the way through.

Freezer - Cooked burgers can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
