Pre Made Hamburgers Are A Cinch

I am going to share with you a shocking revelation. I am cheap and I like to save money. Okay, probably not all that shocking. Look, I talk all the time about something I call a threshold price. In other words, all a threshold price is is the highest price I am willing to pay for something. When it comes to ground beef that threshold price happens to be $1.99 per pound. So, as a result, even if pre-made hamburger patties, even from Walmart, are convenient, they do not fall under my price threshold. Most of the time I can get hamburger meat at Ruler Foods for about $1.89 to $1.99 per pound, and so this definitely fits my bill. So I make my own pre-made burgers I can freeze and just throw onto the grill when I feel like hamburgers. Generally, if I get three pounds of the stuff I can put together 2 packages of 6 1/4# patties. For these I keep a real simple recipe handy. I just put in the three pounds of ground beef and then add 1 packet of onion soup mix, a little bit of garlic powder, pepper, Rupena's beef and pork seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, 3 eggs, and about 2/3 cup of bread crumbs. Get out some wax paper and cut them into hamburger patty sized squares. Then form the burgers at 1/4# a piece (I use a kitchen scale), place them onto the waxed side of a piece of freezer paper, place the patties onto the paper and place a piece of wax paper between them, seal them up, and voila! When you want hamburgers on the quick the work has already been done, you have saved money, and these will taste even better because you have seasoned them the way you want them and prefer them.
