Notes
How To Freeze: Take your wax paper stacked bbq burger patties and carefully place them in a gallon sized freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible, then store them in the freezer for 1-2 months. When you're ready to use them, just remove as many frozen burger patties as you need and allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before grilling.
