  • As requested, I tried Bubba Burgers for the FIRST TIME! I have avoided this for so long, simply because I am not a fan of frozen burger patties. I gave the Bubba Burger Cheddar Jalapeño and Bubba Burger Original a try is in this video I will show you how they turned out and my thoughts on this frozen burger.

    Have you ever heard of Ernest Hemingway burgers?He was an American writer of the early 20th century that used to mix a blend of ingredients and spices into his Patty's. It’s fascinating because in this day and age I’ve never seen burgers made the way he made them.

    Frozen burgers to me always taste better than burgers handmade by people who don’t know how to flavor food. I also think the divots in the patty have to do with their cooking requirements as well as to give them an appealing natural texture look.

  • @leedoss6905
    @leedoss6905 Před rokem +12

    I actually buy 5 pounds of ground chuck and make my own patties with my homemade press and freeze them in cling wrap.
    Several sizes for the patties.
    I then let them thaw to a soft freeze and put them on a hot skillet for the char.
    This keeps the inside from overcooking.
    It very convenient for someone that works all day and has to come home and cook.
    The only thing I want on my hamburger is mayonnaise and dill pickle slices.
    I love vegetables but I eat them on the side.

    When I hear Bubba Burger, I think of Fuglers which is a little country store outside of Marshall, Tx. The burgers are amazing and are George Foreman’s favorite hamburger. That great taste could be from the 50+ years of grease build up. Either way they are great burgers.

    I think rolling 0.25 lb ground chuck into a ball and smashing it on the grill is a pretty darn easy and delicious way to go. However, the original Bubba is a good choice to have on hand. They have worked for me and there is the convenience factor.

    Glad you've got an Aldi nearby now Greg! they're awesome. Aldi is basically a cousin company to Trader Joe's. they originated from the same ownership but split into two companies for a bunch of reasons I can't remember. the way they run their stores is very unusual and some of the things I really dont like (for example, the individual stores dont even have their own phones to be able to talk to management for questions and concerns, and they run on a skeleton crew to cut their costs to the bone). they have a really small selection but what they have is really high quality stuff. great store brands of all kinds of snacks and candies and meats and cheeses and frozen dinners. great prices across the board. keep going back and try more of their stuff, I think you'll be impressed.

    When you over work the meat (ie. Mixing in jalapeño and cheese) it creates a tougher texture. I’m sure that’s why the texture of the original was better than the modified patty. There is another version (Angus) Bubba burger that I’m interested in trying. I’m rather hooked on grass fed/finished beef so I’m very curious to give Bubba a shot. As a devout Parrot Head I’m a bit of a burger snob…..

    I love your videos! You need to do a North Carolina burger. It's so popular, Wendy's put it on their menu, I'm guessing in Southern states only. Put mustard on the top bun, then cole slaw (sweet white kind), then chili (beef), then finely chopped onions, then the patty & bottom, and turn over. It's pure-T awesome!! (And yeah, you have to build it like I said, or it won't taste exactly the same.)
    Also, if you'll put butter - not margarine - on your buns before grilling, you won't believe how it will improve MOST burgers!!

    Emulsification will change the texture of the burger this is common food knowledge so comparing the two is not a true test. perhaps the angus VS the regular burgers would have been a better test then a burger with added ingredients. Bubba burgers are hands down the BEST frozen burger on the market.

    The burger patties with the cheese mixed in look more gray because cheddar cheese is low moisture and it will suck up all the meat juices causing the meat to turn more gray in appearance.
    If you like your burger's medium to medium rare then you most likely shop at a high quality meat market, my ex girlfriend used to like her burgers cooked rare, one day she came home with a few burger patties with cheddar mixed in, they called them Grillmaster patties.
    I grilled a couple up rare, when we cut them in half the cheese had sucked up all the meat juices and the meat looked gray, it was rare but the meat looked gray as if it were well done.
    French cuisine teaches us to layer the flavors, when you mix cheese in with the ground beef you're essentially making a meatball or meatloaf mix and cooking it as a burger.
    Additionally, some people like to mix diced onions in with the ground beef, this will create channels for meat juices to run out when grilling creating a dry burger, this too is a meatloaf mix burger.
    I've never seen a burger restaurant offer a burger on their menu with cheddar cheese or anything else mixed in with the ground beef, not even Denny's makes such a burger, there must be a good reason for it, which may be everything I just described.
    I have, however, seen cheddar stuffed burgers, this is where you wrap the ground beef around a small disc of cheddar cheese and then grill it, the end result is a medium well cooked burger with a melted cheese center, the flavors are still layered where you can taste the cheese and the meat as each ingredient hits your taste buds in separate locations.
    The best burger for me is a good quality beef nothing mixed in, seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled medium, a toasted brioche bun, mayo mixed with a little Worcestershire sauce on the bottom bun then shredded lettuce which combines with the sauce, then grilled burger patty and anything else you like between the meat and top bun.

      Like I said in this video, "Treat the burger patty like a steak." The burger you are describing with the "disc of cheese" in the center is a, "Jucy Lucy."

      @@BallisticBurgers I currently live in Santa Barbara, six years ago I lived in Naperville IL where we had a Ted's Montana Grill restaurant, I would sit at the bar and order a bison burger meal, the kitchen was just to the right of the bar and I could watch them cook.
      Their burgers were cooked on a flat top, cheese or no cheese at the end of the cooking they would ladle a liquid onto the burger, which may have been water or beef broth, then quickly cover the burger with a cloche, the resulting steam would force moisture into the burger and or melt the cheese.
      I tried this method at home pan searing a burger then adding some Au Jus at the end and slamming the lid on the pan for fifteen or twenty seconds.
      The burger came out very moist, the steam pressure must be forcing the moisture into the burger.
      I'll pass on the Jucy Lucy, however, if you know a woman named Lucy that's loose...censored. 🙂

      @@BallisticBurgers Here's a little more background info on myself, I'm the former photographer for Lamborghini automobiles 1992-1993, I studied photography with Dean Collins at his San Diego studio in 1988, I lost the Lamborghini job when Chrysler put Lamborghini up for sale in mid 1993.
      I'm originally from west of Chicago in Naperville IL, in 1950 my grandfather was the manager of ice cream production for a chain of burger restaurants around Chicago called Prince Castle which was a copycat of White Castle.
      In the early 1960's the two owners parted ways and split the restaurants between them, one kept the name Prince Castle and the other named his restaurants Cock Robin.
      Prince Castle quickly faded away and went out of business.
      As McDonald's came in making Chicago their home base the Cock Robin restaurants gradually closed up by about 1995.
      I actually helped my Grandfather create two ice cream recipes, one was Tin Roof Sundae and the other was Orange Blossom.
      Tin Roof Sundae was Vanilla ice cream with fudge, caramel and peanuts. Orange Blossom was orange ice cream and vanilla divided in the container, the orange was not sherbet, he made an orange ice cream.
      The burgers at Cock Robin were like a White Castle burger the size of a Big Mac, the ultimate belly bomber.
      I remember my Grandfather telling me stories about Ray Kroc visiting the restaurant as a drink cup salesman.
      As we get into the late seventy's Ray Kroc was paying his secretary in company stock, she retires with $12 million dollars, the swimming pool company my dad worked for installed a pool in her new home.
      A few years later I was working with my dad in the pool business, he owned the company by then, we installed a pool for Blair Vedder who was the vice chairman of Needham Harper and Steers that handled the McDonald's advertising account.
      We went on to also install a swimming pool for Roy Bergold that was the vice president of advertising at McDonald's.
      I got to know both of these men pretty well.
      Roy Bergold told me that if I can make steam coming off of a burger in a photo that I would get the job doing all their burger photography.
      Remember this was in 1989 when computer retouching was in its infancy.
      So I created the steam like he requested but someone else in the corporation chose a different photographer, I never showed them how I made the steam come off the burgers.
      After losing the McDonald's job is when the Lamborghini job came into my life.
      I wouldn't change a thing, I had the time of my life working at the Lamborghini factory.

    If you want the best burgers you can possibly have, you need the best cuts of beef you can have. Ground beef is only gonna yield what you put into it. Put trash cuts in, out comes trash ground beef. Put good cuts in, out comes good ground beef. In my opinion after working in the meat industry and grinding beef every day, you need to have a good lean to fat ratio. Lean for structure, and minimize shrinkage on the grill, but enough fat to get a good juicy tender flavorful burger. For that you need the top cuts of beef. And it won’t be cheap. That’s the thing, society wants for the masses a cheap mass produced burger. So they use cheap cuts with a lot of fillers. But if you want good burgers, you need too steak cuts, like your New York strip, and Ribeye. You’ll put the flavor of those flavorful steaks into a burger. It’ll be juicy, tender, and so flavorful it’ll knock your socks off. That to me is a good burger. Bubba burgers, are probably not entirely cheap cuts, but it’s probably largely cheap cuts, with fillers. Because they’re a frozen patty. I’m sure the beef that is in it is all beef, but I’d also say that’s not the entirety of the blend.

    I bought some of these because I watched the video where a guy had rated all the frozen burgers. (Except I got the Angus ones) as soon as I realized it was 17 bucks for six burgers (that was on sale) I almost didn't buy them but for the sake of argument I did it... Overall you're paying more and you have to add everything yourself doesn't seem right.

    I think burgers like that are better on the griddle b/c you want a heavy sear over the entire surface rather than just grill marks. And they're not bad, if you want a well done kind of burger. Personally, though I prefer fresh meat loosely pattied and cooked medium rare, preferably Wagyu or at least freshly ground high quality 80/20 meat.

    Been eye-ballin' Bubba Burgers lately myself. Until Putin invaded Ukraine (wink, wink) I was able to get a really tasty, PRE-COOKED, frozen, 1/3 lb., Angus patty at Sam's Club, but alas, that is but a memory, so I'm looking for an alternative to cook in a cast iron skillet, indoors. I enjoyed your approach to this test and your honesty.
    I'd like to share with you that, the next time you're out of home grown tomatoes and have to resort to store bought, instead of Roma, try Campari slices. Most folks aren't open to stacking tomatoes like pickles, but I noticed that it wasn't a big deal to you, so that's why I make the suggestion. Campari tomatoes have as close to a home grown taste as any store bought tomato that I've ever eaten, they just don't grow to a very large diameter, therefore, the pickle slice stacking compromise.
