Beef.
Turns out if you get a nice burger from a local restaurant once a week at $13 (+drink(or two) and tip), that money adds pretty quick!
Luckily I found these frozen burgers at Aldi a few months ago. At about $12 for the entire bag, with cost of the bun and other toppings, I’m eating ~$2.00 burgers at home. Those are savings you can take to the bank. And also, arteries you can be assured are being clogged.
Listen, we (Americans) eat too much red meat. It’s killing us all, slowly. Including me. With the ease it is to cook these, how cheap, and ultimately a satisfying dinner, I often try to switch out these 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers with the frozen Turkey Burgers Aldi’s sometimes carries, or frozen chicken breasts. Both can be classed up a bit, easy to make, and are also the “burger” handheld form, which can’t be beat.
Alright, so the preparing and toppings…
Burger: Largely follow the instructions on the bag to cook in oven. 400 Degrees. I place the one or two burgers in a aluminum foil “pan” I create so the juices are easy to clean up, and don’t need to clean the sheet pan. Roughly 7 minutes on one side, flip, about another 6-7 minutes. THEN flip again, and put cheese on burger, for roughly another 1 minute in the oven. Check on until cheese as melted as you’d like. I actually typically put diced onions on the burger and then the cheese on top of that, so the cheese melts around the onions. Very good.
Toppings: As noted above I’ll go with some cheese (swiss or provolone usually), diced or not-so-diced raw white onions, tomato slices, mayo on the side of one bun, and ketchup on the other. If I’m feeling especially unhealthy, and I have them on hand, I’ll put a layer on each end of Kettle chips, for that extra crunch texture.
Rating: 3.5/5. Not bad. Tastes about what you’d expect from any frozen burger. Class it up with your bun and topping choices, and you’re having a good time. And remember, moderation!
