How To Make Grilled Frozen Burgers
Step 1: Preheat Your Grill
Step 2: Grill Frozen Burgers
Step 3: Apply Seasoning
Step 4: Grill Again & Prepare Toppings
Prepare your toppings whilst you’re waiting for the burgers to cook. We recommend classic toppings such as cheese slices, iceberg lettuce (sliced with sharp knife into patty-sized pieces and layered on top of the burger), tomato slices, and condiments such as ketchup and relish.
The toppings you use are entirely up to you, however. If you’re looking to experiment, some other options can include blue cheese and bacon, pineapple, nacho cheese Doritos, or even Smoked Mac & Cheese for the food buffs.
Step 5: Flip Burgers
Step 6: Add Cheese Slices (Optional)
If you don’t want to add cheese, skip this.
Step 7: Serve!
The Perfect Sides for Grilled Frozen Burgers
We recommend serving homemade fries, Smoked Potato Bombs, Ceasar salad or Smoked Sweet Potatoes alongside your grilled frozen burgers for a wholesome classic meal.
