Added mustard and pickle. \u00a0Flavor was ok, it has some &#8216;smoke&#8217; flavor added to emulate a grill, texture was ok, my complaint about this (and nearly all of them) are that the buns and meat don&#8217;t require the same attention in the microwave, so invariably, one or the other is overcooked or undercooked.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the bread is just nuked to a pulp (not literally) but it is way too soft to hold a substantial amount of toppings, if that&#8217;s they way you choose to dress your burger.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, this was a little more than a buck at WalMart. \u00a0A lot of carbs and fat, but if you&#8217;re ok with that, buy a bunch to keep in the freezer for after school.<\/p>\n<p>Which ones do I like the best? \u00a0Uncooked, the Trader Joes. \u00a0Cooked? \u00a0Ball Park. (they aren&#8217;t complete, the bag only contains the beef patties).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16394\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16394\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20161014_105445.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16394\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16394\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20161014_105445-400x307.jpg\" alt=\"Dutch Farms Frozen Burger Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"307\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Out of package<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16395\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16395\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20161014_110527.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16395\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16395\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20161014_110527-400x248.jpg\" alt=\"Dutch Farms Frozen Burger Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"248\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16395\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>90 seconds in microwave<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dutch Farms Frozen Cheeseburger Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve tried a lot of these &#8216;heat and eat&#8217; burgers, some full cooked, some raw that you have to cook.
