A burger patty is a flattened, usually circular, portion of ground meat, most commonly beef, used to make hamburgers. Its flavor is rich and savory, depending on the blend of meats and fat content. The texture should be tender and juicy when cooked properly, with a slight crust formed during grilling or pan-frying. The appearance of a raw burger patty is typically pink or red, while a cooked patty ranges from browned on the exterior to varying degrees of doneness inside, impacting its final color and moisture. High-quality burger patties are key to delicious homemade burgers or are often found in popular burger recipes.

Burger patties are highly perishable and should be stored properly to prevent spoilage. Fresh, uncooked patties should be refrigerated immediately and used within 1-2 days. For longer storage, wrap patties individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Frozen patties can be stored for 2-3 months. Cooked burger patties should also be refrigerated promptly and consumed within 3-4 days. Ensure they are in an airtight container to avoid drying out.
