Decent frozen burgers?

[Nevakonaza]

Can anyone recommend any decent frozen burgers these days?

Birds eye have started using Pea-Protein in their mix which has completely ruined their burgers Imo, They have a Slushy texture now and very little flavour lol.

So looking for some suggestions!

Btw anyone know why its so hard to get Hamburgers now also?...literally never see them!

Hamburgers appear to vanished entirely even Shaggy and Scooby only eat pizza now where once upon a time it was hamburgers! Things you remember...

Tesco’s frozen range is pretty good, I’ve had some enjoyable burgers from there. They also the original Birds Eye beefburgers

Make them yourself or buy them from a butcher.

It takes minutes to make your own then freeze if required.

Each to their own of course, but I like the thin Aldi ones (same profile as their sausage ones).

Of course such burgers are not for singular consumption, they must be stacked.

Can you not just freeze any nice fresh burger? I normally make my own, but I hasbrowns-which-is-best-store-bought.18944820 had some tesco finest and they were very tasty.

Donald Russell - standard burgers, plus premium, very meaty and nom.

I wait for them to come on offer.

I buy mine from a local butcher than freeze any fresh ones I don't use.
Even after frozen their burgers are a lot better than the majority I even pay for!

Buy a 500g of mince, some salt and pepper, some greaseproof paper and a square Sistema container. Split the mince into 4, add salt/pepper, roll into balls. place each ball on a flat surface on some paper, then place paper on top. Add two cherry profile spacebars to the side of the ball, place another board on top and push down until the spacebars stop you. Repeat for the other 3 balls. wrap em in the paper and stick em in the sistema container and into the freezer. Perfect size and shape burgers.

Wish I had a local butcher.

When I moved to my current location in 1988, there used to be four.

All gone now.

It's gone the opposite for us recently, and there's been a few more open and stay which is good to see.

Lidl ones here are nice, but they are made with 15% fat beef, so tasty, but not very healthy.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I make my burgers with at least 20% fat mince. Don't make it to be healthy...its a once in a few months treat for me. Plus a lot of the fat is cooked away since I smash it down.

So just do that, get a packet it mince, divide it up. When you need it, get 1 patty out to cook.

 

[Maundie]

I either get the ones from our local Farm Shop or make my own, bought a press from Amazon but as other people have said roll into correct weight balls and squash down if you don't want a press

 

[robfosters]

No one cares if any of you make your own burgers, that’s not what the OP asked is it?

 

[Raymond Lin]

It’s still a burger, the only difference here is you divide it up. You don’t even need to add any ingredients. You don’t even need to flatten it.

As for the question from the OP, it’s difficult to get good burgers now because meat prices has shot up like 30% in the past 2 years. They have to replace meat with something else.

No, but we are saying that instead of buying crap pre-frozen ones, make and freeze your own as a better option.

I think they're reasonably valid comments - it's not much effort to squash some beef mince into a burger shape and put it in the freezer, with the added benefit of 500g of beef mince probably being cheaper than branded processed crap like Birds Eye anyway
