If you’re tired of standing over a hot griddle smashing burger patties yourself, Young Ridge has done the work for you with these pre-smashed burgers at Costco.
These are thin, crispy-edge style burger patties made from brisket and ground beef that come ready to cook straight from the freezer. They’re designed to give you that classic smash burger experience—you know, the kind with those delicious crispy, caramelized edges—without the elbow grease of actually smashing them yourself.
These cook up fast since they’re already thin, which makes them perfect for busy weeknight dinners or impromptu backyard gatherings. The real question is whether they can deliver that authentic smash burger taste and texture when you’re not making them fresh.
- Item #: 1948871
- Current Price: $23.99
- Pre-smashed patties ready to cook from frozen
- Thin design for crispy edges and quick cooking
- No prep work or smashing required
- Ideal for burgers, sliders, or even chopped up for loaded fries
- Large bulk pack typical of Costco sizing
- Note: These are uncooked patties
Here’s the honest take: while these won’t quite match a fresh-smashed burger from your favorite burger joint, plus you still have to cook them, they’re convenient and deliver better results than regular frozen patties. The edges do get nicely crispy if you cook them on high heat, and they’re thin enough that they cook through in just a few minutes. The downside? You’re committed to thin patties here—if you prefer thick, juicy burgers, these aren’t your style.
Bottom line: Young Ridge Smashed Burgers are a win for anyone who loves the smash burger style but doesn’t always have time to make them from scratch. They’re a smart freezer staple that’ll have dinner on the table fast, even if Memorial Day weekend catches you by surprise!
