Different Methods for Cooking Bubba Burgers
The grill is by no means the only way to prepare and enjoy BUBBA burger recipes. In truth, there are about as many cooking methods for BUBBA burgers as there are BUBBA burger variants. Some of the other popular cooking methods (besides grilling) have been described below:
Cooking BUBBA Burgers on the Stovetop/Skillet
- Increase the heat to medium-high and pour a little amount of any neutral-flavored oil into the skillet.
- Cook the frozen BUBBA burger patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side in the skillet as soon as it gets fully heated.
- If preferred, add the cheese and set the pan’s lid atop it to melt the cheese.
Cooking BUBBA Burgers in the Air Fryer
- In the bottom of the air fryer’s basket, arrange your frozen BUBBA burger patties. Overcrowding or overlapping the patties is not a good idea, so ensure to avoid this.
- Heat up the air fryer to a temperature of 370°F.
- Cook the BUBBA burger patties in the preheated air fryer for 13 to 15 minutes (make sure to turn them midway through the cooking process), until the internal temperature of beef BUBBA burger variants reaches 160°F, or 165°F for turkey and vegetable BUBBA burger varieties.
Cooking BUBBA Burgers in the Oven
- Adjust the oven’s temperature setting to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, then leave it to preheat.
- Arrange the frozen BUBBA burger patties 1 to 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the patties for 5 to 10 minutes, ensuring that the pan is positioned close to the top of the oven during the cooking process.
- Turn the BUBBA burgers onto the opposite side and bake them for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until their internal temperature rises to 160°F for beef and 165°F for turkey-based and vegetarian BUBBA burgers.
- If preferred, top your burger patties with some cheese, then leave them to broil in the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
BUBBA burgers can also be cooked in an instant pot or pressure cooker, as well as a George Foreman grill. In the end, it’s up to you to decide which cooking method to use based on convenience and the available cooking equipment.
