Whether you're cooking them over the open flames of a hot grill or on a blistering hot skillet, burgers are filling, tasty, and easy to cook. There's something undeniably delicious about a burger that's perfectly grilled, with a lightly charred and seasoned outer crust that's still tender and juicy inside. Considering how popular burgers are, it should come as no surprise that America eats about 50 billion of them every single year.

Some common cuts for ground beef include chuck, sirloin, brisket, and short rib. Burger blends can vary in the particular cuts of meat that are used, and the overall fat content may also differ. While sirloin tends to be lower in fat, chuck and short rib are much higher. The best burger blends strike a perfect balance between the fattier and leaner cuts of beef. Fattier ground beef has a richer flavor and helps keep burgers juicy while ground-up leaner cuts help hold everything together. Rather than grinding up your own beef from scratch and making patties by hand, there's no doubt that it's much easier to just buy some premade frozen burgers from the store.

That said, there can be vast differences in quality between frozen burger brands. Some frozen burgers can be dry and dense — and no one likes a tough burger. The good news is that there are also some really flavorful frozen burgers on the market, too. Luckily for you, we've taken the time to highlight some of our favorites.

There's one important thing that separates The Organic Meat Company from some of its competition — and it's the fact that its beef is 100% grass-fed. Consuming grass-fed beef comes with a multitude of benefits. For starters, grass-fed beef tends to have a richer, beefier flavor. But beyond its deeper flavor, it also contains more vitamins and antioxidants than grain-fed beef. This box of burgers comes with four-ounce grass-fed beef patties.

Customers tend to appreciate the high-quality meat in The Organic Meat Company burgers. One Amazon customer happily reported, "This is the closest frozen beef has come to matching the same texture quality that my local butcher gives me." The only potential criticism here is that these patties are a little bit on the thinner side, but that might also be a good thing, depending on your preferences. Thinner patties cook faster and can also get some nice charring on the edges, which amps up the flavor.

The company's cattle are humanely raised on pastures and never subjected to pesticides, herbicides, hormones, or antibiotics. In other words, these burgers are about as healthy and natural as you could hope for from a frozen food product. And despite the fact that they're frozen, they taste remarkably fresh. All in all, The Organic Meat Compay burgers are a great deal that delivers impressive quality and big flavor.

Wild Fork offers great quality frozen meat at reasonable prices. The company sells a broad range of burgers, including patties made with chuck, sirloin, and Angus beef. Wild Fork also has sliders, pub-style burgers, and thicker chef-style burgers. Customers praise Wild Fork's burgers across the board. The chuck burgers seem to specifically garner applause for their juiciness, with some reporting that it's their favorite type of burger from the company.

Wild Fork blast-freezes its burgers at extremely cold temperatures in order to maintain their freshness and the company claims that its process reduces freezer crystallization. There's no doubt that having frozen burgers comes with a number of advantages. Chiefly, the shelf-life of the meat is extended, which makes it easier to stock up and keep some burgers on reserve. Wild Fork also works with cattle in areas like Colorado and Nebraska, which are known to have optimal conditions to raise top-notch beef. The company ages its beef for more than two weeks in order to develop its flavor.

Aside from burgers, Wild Fork offers a staggering amount of meat options — ribeye steak, brisket, pork belly, meatballs, sausages, and bacon-wrapped scallops are just a few more of the extensive choices on the table. Wild Fork gets high marks from us for its extraordinary inventory and high-quality meats.

If you've ever dreamed of burgers being shipped right to your doorstep, then we've got some good news for you. Nebraska Star Beef is a humble, family-run operation based in Nebraska that goes back four generations. The company specializes in shipping an assortment of high-quality meats, including steaks, ribs, roasts, brisket, and burgers.

Nebraska Star Beef burgers are made with a special blend of Wagyu and Angus beef to create maximum flavor and minimum shrinkage on the grill. In fact, one customer claimed them the "Best burgers I've ever had. Full of flavor and very tender." When it comes to frozen burger compliments, it doesn't get much better than that. Other customers have said that these burgers have a deep, rich flavor that makes each bite feel like you're eating a luxurious steak. Each patty weighs one-third of a pound. The company also produces its own seasoning blends, which can come in especially handy if you end up ordering some of the Nebraska Star Beef's ribs or steaks. Nebraska Star's convenient shipping options, massive inventory, and expertly-blended burgers make it one of the best options imaginable for any meat lover.

Boasting the biggest ranch in Montana's Blackfoot River Valley, Meyer Natural Angus makes a variety of products, including grass-fed beef, Angus, and pork. The company's Natural Angus beef burgers are some of the best-frozen burgers on the market, thanks to their deep flavor and affordable price tag. In fact, one satisfied customer on Amazon reported that "I am very picky about my frozen beef patties; these are extraordinary. They are so delicious and easy to cook. It's the only beef product that I keep in my freezer." You know a burger must be tasty when it inspires that level of loyalty.

The only downside here is that some customers report that it can be difficult to separate the burger patties. Each patty is separated with a thin piece of paper, but the paper tends to rip, leaving the burgers stuck together. The truth is that this issue isn't exclusive to Meyer — it's a problem that haunts a lot of frozen burger brands. The good news is that this can usually be overcome with a little wiggling and some patience.

This box comes with eight quarter-pound patties. The beef is humanely raised, vegetarian-fed, and also doesn't contain any hormones or antibiotics. Once you grill some of these up and slide them over some warm and toasty buns, you may find it hard to justify buying packages of ground beef that you have to make patties out of yourself.

Meijer is a grocery store chain with hundreds of locations that radiate around Michigan and surrounding states. Like many other stores, Meijer also has its own name brand. Among many other products, Meijer sells bags of frozen burger patties that are premade and easy to cook.

These burger patties are made with 20% fat, which is an ideal ratio. When burgers contain less than 20% fat, they tend to be leaner, drier, and tougher — but you don't have to worry about that with these. These quarter-pound burger patties are juicy without being overly greasy. They also don't contain any artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Each serving contains almost 20 grams of protein. The bags are available in 32 ounces with eight burgers or 64 ounces with 16 burgers. Either way, both sizes are more than capable of feeding a crowd, which makes Meijer burgers a great choice for family meals or parties and barbecues.

If you like bigger burgers and these quarter-pound patties are a little too small for you, we'd recommend making double cheeseburgers. Simply add slices of cheese to two burger patties and stack them on top of each other, then slide it onto a bun with your choice of condiments and toppings. If you're looking for some dependable frozen burger patties that taste great and won't break the bank, this is an excellent choice. We also like that this comes in a resealable bag instead of a box since it tends to stay fresher in the freezer.
