Default Best pre-made burger patties?

My wife is on a chicken diet kick, I can only take so many tasteless chicken breasts. So when she gets chicken I would like to do a burger for myself. Yes I know home made is better, but when I want a quick burger, what brand of frozen patties do you recommend?

I'm not a fan of the big generic boxed patties. M&M has some good burgers. Can't remember the flavors they sell, but I'm thinking it was jalepeno cheddar maybe that I really liked?

I like to make my own burgers but when I don’t have time the frozen Keg burgers are great.

Most grocery stores have them in their frozen section.
We get them at Walmart.

I'm a frozen patty conniseur and for me it's either the Kwop bison seasoned or the Safeway Select sirloin versions. Used to buy the Costco Kirkland 16 to a bag but surprisingly the Safeway Selects are much better. Way less shrinkage, (which at my age is a concern). $12 per 8 and on sale for $ 9 often.

How about your local butcher shop? Maybe the place that cuts up your wild game? Out this way we there is Back country butchers in Cowley who also sell pre made beef burgers. Great to support those who support the outdoorsman. Many shops don't want to touch wild game so let's reward those that do.
If your out this way give Back Country Butchers a try too, great butcher shop for domestic meat products too.

Blackmans butcher shop in Grande Prairie if your in the area I believe there a beef bison mix delicious burgers that don’t shrink up to half the original size.

The ones I like the best (if I'm up for it) are; grind and season something like brisket or whatever is on sale that's not too lean, use the Aluminum burger former that everyone sells and paper and freeze.
The next best for us are the Kirkland.
But I found that I need to BBQ em when they are frozen.

I get prime rib burgers from Urban Butcher or Masters Meats in Calgary. Good stuff. The fresh Safeway Angus ones at the butcher's counter are good too.

Doesn't mean there aren't other questionable ingredients... But I'm pretty comfortable with pre-made burgers. I generally make my own though. Hot dogs and sausage are on another level. Haven't eaten a hot dog in 20 years, and never will again. Sausage I read ingredients very carefully.
