I love making hamburger patties from scratch. It makes me feel all “Suzy homemaker” like, and that makes me feel cool.  My make ahead hamburger patties are easy to put together and the patties freeze perfectly making it a nice addition to my growing list of freezer meals.

These make ahead hamburger patties are easy to put together and have great flavor. The patties freeze nicely making it a quick and easy freezer meal.

Let me show you just how easy making your own hamburger patties can be. Here are my step by step photo directions.

See how easy that was? Only 6 simple steps and it really doesn’t take very long either.

To cook : You can cook burgers frozen or thawed. Thawed seems to work better for me, but you can do either. Cook burgers to desired doneness.

My favorite way to make them is to toast some nice quality buns on the grill or on broiler in the oven. Have some crispy bacon, avocado, tomatoes, onions and crisp lettuce ready. After the first flip add in some cheese, allow it to melt. Then add burger to bun with all other toppings.

YUM! I really wish I could just make the food, take the pictures, eat the food and be done. To relive that blissful moment of snarfing down that burger through writing up this post and posting all these pictures is pure torture.  Suddenly I feel like I’m STARRRRVVING!!!!

Here is the recipe for my make ahead hamburger patties. They will work perfect for those 4th of July BBQ’s we will all be attending this weekend. Enjoy!

      I’d suggest cooking up these fresh hamburger patties up within 3-4 days after prepping them if you’re keeping them in the fridge.
