New Ball Park frozen hamburgers...oh my!

[Random Axe]

Dwayne, as a fellow burger guy I feel compelled to seek these out. I'll do some research and find a local grocer that carries these. I'm guessing the are pre-cooked? If that's the case I'll take them to work. I am the most plain, boring burger dude you'll meet. I only use ketchup and occasionally bbq sauce. That's it. That's how I can tell a good burger by not putting a bunch of stuff all over it. I don't even use cheese on burgers. How strange is that?

Not that strange, I love burgers but I'm only one topping ahead of you, since I like pickles and ketchup on my burgers. But that's it, nothing else. Really want to try these.

Oh, I gotta have cheese--it's a food group for me.

I gotta have onions on my burgers, fresh or grilled.

Never tasted a frozen beef patty that was better than fresh ground beef, but since everyone here are craving for some, guess I'll follow to, and get these ones as well.

Anyone mentioned bacon on a burger?

Pure heaven, oh poor piggy, why you taste so good?

Err .. I am TOTALLY confused. Up here in Canada the burgers always come frozen. Even out the McDonald's drive thru window. That's why we have microwaves in our igloos and cars.

Didn't realize that this is not the same in the USA.

These are flame grilled and then flash frozen, so all you have to do is heat them up. They're not raw hamburger patties.

[Hector]

Any artificial ingredients or preservatives?

Bacon would be good on cardboard. It's meat candy!

What about chili? There used to be a 50s-style diner in Lexington, Ky called Rockabilly's that had THE best burgers in a 3-state radius. They had one called the Boardwalk Baby that came topped with a very meaty chili. Messy, but it was savory heaven.

^Smokey Bones BBQ joint has a half pound burger topped with bacon, chili beef and BBQ pulled pork.

It mocks thee vegans!

Hmm. I might have to try a Ball Park burger. The saturated fat is a bit high, but it's not a diet-buster. I generally prefer buffalo (bison) for burgers because (IMO) it tastes much better than equally lean beef.

I don't know if we get that brand here in Canada, I'll pick them up if I see them. We have a brand called President's Choice here, I think through Sobey's, that makes really really good frozen beef patties. They do different styles like grilled portabella, peppercorn, sirloin or angus etc.

I don't know how many ballpark burgers you sold this weekend, but I just had one (with cheese in the meat) and it was really good. Five guys, bobby flays palace, and the good steers cheese dream are my favorite burgers, but this is a really solid option for the backyard BBQ. Thanks for the heads up!

We just had some. Thumbs up from the whole family. I cooked them in the grill as a benchmark. Next time I'll try the microwave.

Ball Park is my favorite brand of hotdogs. After trying them, it's the only brand I purchase at the store.

I'm a little skeptical about the burgers, but will see if I can find them at the grocery store next time out. No sense in not trying them out after the solid reviews.
