Frozen burgers often get a bad rep, but there is no denying they are a great option for times when we are craving a burger but don’t feel like doing everything from scratch. On top of that, they can turn out great even if you don’t fire up the grill and use one of the following methods.
Skillet
Skillet is the best method of cooking frozen burgers after grilling, although you can alternatively use a frying pan. Simply preheat the skillet to medium heat and then add cooking oil. Place a frozen burger patty, which you previously seasoned with salt and pepper, on a skillet and cook for six to eight minutes per side.
Oven
The oven is a great method for cooking frozen burgers, especially if you need to cook a large number at once. Season the frozen burger patties and line them on a baking sheet before placing them in a preheated oven at 425F. Let them bake for 10 to 12 minutes before flipping them over and baking them for another 10 to 12 minutes. If you’re making cheeseburgers, you can place the cheese slices on top of the patties and let them spend an extra minute in the oven so the cheese melts.
Air Fryer
The air fryer does a surprisingly good job when it comes to cooking frozen burgers. Simply preheat the air fryer to 350F and place seasoned frozen burger patties in the basket. Cook for around 20 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through.
