Burgers are one of our spring and summertime staples, but I have to admit that we usually opt for the pre-made burgers rather than take the time to make our own. Yes, I know they are more expensive, but in this case, convenience almost always wins out over cost.

Not anymore!

Not only are these flavor-packed bacon & blue cheese burgers WAY tastier than any of the pre-made varieties, they are a snap to make! We whipped up 12 patties in just a few minutes (at a fraction of the cost of the pre made burgers!)  To make these as part of a freezer cooking day, simply individually wrap the raw burgers in plastic wrap or freezer paper, and then into a ziploc freezer bag–no pre-cooking required! Making it ahead of time is not necessary, though, as they are equally delicious thrown straight on the grill!
