We obviously have been doing ourselves a disfavor by only buying "burger tower" burger patties. I think over the course of a year we only go through two packages of the pre-made patties. They are convenient for pulling a pound's worth of burger out for lasagna or casseroles a few times a year, and over the course of a year we'll barbecue burgers a dozen times or so. During summer months we make sure to buy no less than 15% fat content, because otherwise the patties stick to the grill, but we buy 10% during winter months.
This week we are at Carlsbad Village Resort. Cliff dumped his Mexican leftovers in the middle of the restaurant floor last night, so we thought we'd get him a $3 burger at the afternoon cookout the resort was having. They smelled so good we decided to save my Mexican leftovers for a shared lunch bite tomorrow, and both have a burger. OMG, I have never had a more flavorful burger patty, and so juicy too. Definitely didn't come as pre-made patties, and the fat content might have been as high as 25%. We'll have to go back to making patties from scratch. I am very particular about not wanting to see even a hint of pink in my burger, and the young man doing the grilling did an excellent job.
