Ingredients

- Burger fixings such as bacon, tomatoes, avocados, cheese, fresh onion slices, lettuce, and pickles

🥄Equipment

How to make these flavorful burgers
Prepare the ingredients: Cook the bacon, and slice the onions, tomatoes, avocado, and cheese. Heat the grill to medium-high heat, open up a box of BUBBA burgers and get ready to grill.
STEP 1. Grill the burgers
Once the grill is hot, place the frozen burgers on to the grill, and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook the burgers for five minutes.
STEP 2. Flip the burgers
Flip the burgers over, cover the grill and cook for 5 minutes on the other side.
STEP 3. Add Cheese
Flip the burgers over once again, and check the internal temperature of the meat. Once it reaches at least 145 degrees, add the slices of cheese to each burger. Close the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through to 160 degrees F.
STEP 4. Assemble the burgers
Serve these delicious burgers on a platter with a board on the side filled with your favorite toppings. For this burger, I spread mustard on the bottom of the bun and the ketchup on top of the bun and piled on the pickles, onion slices, avocados, bacon, and tomato on top of the burger.
NOTE: Cook time can vary depending on your grill. A good meat thermometer will give you an accurate reading of the internal temperature of the burgers which should be 160 degrees F.

How to store leftover BUBBA burgers
The beauty of BUBBA burgers is that they go right from freezer to grill so there shouldn’t be many cooked leftovers, what you don’t need can go right back into the freezer.
If you do have leftover cooked burgers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days.
Reheat leftovers on top of the stove or grill.
Tips
- If you are not using cheese, skip the adding a slice of cheese step and continue to cook the burgers until they are cooked through.
- For the juiciest burgers, resist the urge to squish them while they are cooking, on the grill, which forces out the juices.
Even though ultimate bubba burgers taste best when they are cooked on the grill, they can also be cooked on top of the stove. Heat a skillet (preferably cast-iron skillet) over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for 6 to 8 minutes on each side until they are cooked through.
Yes! BUBBA burgers have a variety of choices of turkey burgers and veggie burgers. Grill a turkey BUBBA burger or veggie BUBBA burger and pile on the toppings.
