Notes

MAKE AHEAD

Refrigerate uncooked burger patties for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Store in an airtight container or reusable sandwich bag. Use baking (parchment) paper between the layers if needed to stop the patties from sticking. Thaw completely in the fridge overnight before use. Cook as per the recipe.
