- Do I need to thaw the patties before cooking?
- No. They are designed to cook from frozen. Cook them on a skillet or grill over medium heat, turning once, until the center reaches 160°F.
- How many burgers does the box make?
- The box holds 16 patties, so 16 single-patty burgers. For double burgers, plan on 8 servings.
- Are these spicy?
- They are seasoned, not hot. Expect a savory, peppery Latin-style flavor rather than chili heat, so they work for most palates.
- Can I use them for anything other than burgers?
- Yes. Crumble cooked patties into tacos, chili or rice bowls, or serve them as a protein with eggs and tortillas.
- How should I store them?
- Keep the box in the freezer until you are ready to cook. Once opened, reseal unused patties tightly and use them within a few weeks.
- Are they a good value against plain ground beef?
- You pay for the pre-seasoning and forming. If you want control over flavor and leanness, plain ground beef is cheaper per pound; if you want zero prep, these save time.
