To grill frozen burgers, the recommended time is generally about 15 to 20 minutes total over medium heat (around 375°F), depending on how well done you want them. Here's a good approach:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F).
- Place the frozen burger patties on the grill grates about 2-3 inches apart.
- Close the grill lid and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes.
- Flip the burgers, season them, and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Flip again, season the other side, and continue cooking, flipping every 5 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.
- Approximate cooking times: 10 minutes for rare, 15 minutes for medium rare to medium, and 20+ minutes for well done.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F for beef burgers for food safety.
Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes off the grill before serving. This method works well for gas, charcoal, electric, or pellet grills.
