How far in advance can I mix and shape the patties?

Yes. You can shape the patties up to 24 hours ahead. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

Can I cook the burgers from frozen?

Yes, but allow extra time and cook over moderate heat so the exterior doesn’t burn before the interior cooks through.

What toppings work best for bacon cheeseburgers?

Anything from classic lettuce and tomato to caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, pickles, or a spicy mayo works well. The smoky bacon pairs with a wide range of toppings.
