Lately, I have been getting a lot of questions about Bubba Burgers. What are they, how to grill them, recipes etc. So, I did a little research to find out for myself some of these same things I wanted to know.
Bubba Burger: What is it?
Bubba Burger is the #1 branded frozen hamburger patty in the United States. What makes the Bubba Burger unique from store brands is the quality of meat and the process used to freeze them.
Bubba Burger: What is in it?
The meat is 100% U.S.D.A. whole muscle chuck. Unlike many “100% beef” store brand patties, there are no trimmings or fillers used in a Bubba Burger. Several varieties are offered including onion and jalepeno. Those natural ingredients would be the only additives used.
Bubba Burger: How are they made?
Freezing meat in your home freezer causes expansion of the meat fibers that resulting in cell damage and breaking down enzymes. The “normal” freezing process ultimately degrades the quality of meat. Walter “Bubba” Eaves, the company’s founder, invented a unique process used to flash freeze the burger. Flash freezing protects the meat fibers from this expansion, protecting the flavor and retaining the juices.
Bubba went one step further to make sure his burger had the taste and texture of a hand formed patty by giving them a unique shape. This branding technique also lets you know that this is a Bubba Burger and not a store brand.
Bubba Burger: How do you grill them?
That special production process allows the Bubba burger to be grilled from a frozen state and still remain juicy, tender and delicious. In fact, DO NOT THAW OR DEFROST Bubba Burgers, or they will fall apart.
How to grill Bubba Burgers
- Heat grill to about 325 degrees.
- Take as many as you need from the freezer pack. DO NOT THAW
- Place frozen BUBBA burger directly on grill rack.
- Don’t flip the burger ’til you see juices on top.
- Once you flip the burger, cook it ’til it’sjust how you like it.
- Serve on a bun with your favorite condiments, or eat it alone like a steak.

Notice, there is no suggesting on how long to cook Bubba burgers, just keep them frozen and don’t flip until you see juices on top. This is a good rule of thumb for any hamburger patty, frozen or not.
