Frozen Hamburgers

Overall, I bought six packages of hamburgers, each package containing four half pound burgers, because, you know, it was on sale. I'll likely eat a hamburger a day (or every other day) for the next month.

Last night, I cooked a package (of three, refreezing the fourth raw) by placing them in a single layer in a glass dish and putting in the oven for an even hour at 350° (without bothering to preheat the oven). The one I ate (freezing the other two right away) was a little (just a little) overcooked, so next time it will be for 55 minutes.

So far, I've just eaten the burgers by themselves:

• Hamburger Patty with Balsamic
• Hamburger Patty with Barbecue Sauce

But as there are a good twenty patties to go, maybe I'll do something interesting with one or two of them before I am through.

And if not, well then self:

55 minutes at 350° (no warm up, no cool down) seems to work for those super-sized half pound burgers I've been getting.

Nope, it actually took an hour.

And then, the last one cooked individually in a small bowl came out nice enough after 55 minutes at 350° (from frozen).

So, the timing is still a work in progress.


Anyway, with the rest of the hamburgers (after I decided to keep track), I made:

• Hamburger Patty
• pickle
• pickle juice
• salt (it's important)
• morel leek jack cheese
  • or something equally decadent
• Nachos
• hamburger patty with salt and red pepper
• cheese
• chips
• sour cream
• Chili
• 4 hamburger patties (2lb)
• 2 cans black beans
• 2 small cans tomato sauce
• 1 onion
• 1 tsp salt
• double dash red pepper
• 1-2 cups extra water
• .25 cup dry rice cooked separately in water and added for the next day
• Hamburger
• balsamic
• salt
• Mexican Style
• hamburger
• pepper-jack cheese
• mango salsa
• sour cream
• guacamole
• chips
• It would seem that I eat something like this, Fiesta Mexican Style, every other day... or so.
  • You know, given half a chance.
• Chili
• ¾ cup mixed rice, cooked in... um, some amount of water
• 2lb hamburger
• red chili flakes, cumin, and pickle juice
• 3 small onions
• 1 can black beans
• 1 small can tomato sauce
• 1 regular can diced tomatoes with spices
• salt and pepper
• served with mango salsa and sour cream
• Hamburger
• with BBQ sauce and bun
• A traditional winner, so I did it again.
• Pineapple Chili
• the last 2lb package of hamburger patties
• 2 cups water
• one package 4 Star Beef Chili
  • What can I say, it was cheap.
  • Now, let's see if it's any good.
• one package mild Italian sausage links
• one package chunk pineapple
• salt, pepper, & red pepper
• One Final Hamburger
• a month later
• Hope I find a bun.
• Success!
