Easy Freezer Bacon & Blue Cheese Burgers

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!

Step 1: Chop bacon; set aside. Chop onions and set aside.

Step 2: Mince garlic; set aside.

Step 3: In large bowl, mash together ground beef, blue cheese, bacon, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, and steak seasoning until well blended.

Step 4: Form ground beef mixture into 12 patties place on parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Flash freeze for 20 minutes.

Step 5: Wrap each patty individually with freezer paper or saran wrap. Divide patties into two gallon size freezer bags (be sure to label bags first!)  Freeze until needed.

Step 6: To cook, grill frozen patties to desired doneness level. Alternate directions: Pan fry frozen patties for 4-5 minutes per side until done.

Step 7: Serve on Hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, or any other favorite burger fixings!
