This isn’t a bar burger. Whatever your opinion about bars, when they have burgers, those burgers are often some of the best at any restaurant. These, on the other hand, are a reasonably priced source of nutrients that taste okay.
There are a couple of odd things about this burger. First, the cooking instructions are for a frozen patty, whether skillet, grill or broiler. No microwave instructions are given. When cooked in a skillet, the frozen patty tended to raise in the center resulting in a nice ring of cooked patty around the edges and the center needing longer to cook through. I suppose putting a weight on the patty would be the way to correct this? Some of the cheese in the burger tended to melt and ooze out while cooking. I did not try the broiler or grill. Second, there was noticeable fibrous material in the patty. This affected the texture somewhat. While there is bacon added to the patty, it didn’t seem to add much to the flavor or texture.
There are more calories and fat in each patty compared to an equal portion of 80/20 ground beef. Both of those numbers may be due to the added cheese and bacon in the patty. Or there could be a higher percentage of fat in the beef.
While convenient and reasonably priced at $3.45 per pound (compared to ground beef alone), you’ll probably be able to build a better burger by starting with straight ground beef, adding a slice of cheese near the end of cooking and then adding a couple of slices of cooked bacon on top of that.
