Notes
- Ground pork should be cooked to a temperature of 160F (71c) for doneness
- Leftovers? Keep leftover beef patties in the fridge in an airtight container or foil-wrapped for 3 days.
- Freezer friendly? Uncooked (or cooked) burger patties can be frozen for up to 3 months. Be sure to separate patties with parchment paper to avoid them all freezing together into a giant lump. Or flash freeze - this is where you freeze the burgers in a single layer (uncovered) on a tray in the freezer then once frozen transfer to zip lock bag or container.
- Cook on the stovetop? Pan fry burgers over high heat in a little olive oil for 5-7 minutes per side or until cooked through
- Serving your carb eating family? Just serve it with a bread bun and some ketchup or tomato sauce
