Costco sells their Kirkland Signature Grass-Fed Beef Patties for $23.99. The package weighs 5 lbs and contains 15 patties each weighing a third of a pound. These are80% lean/20% fat which is the ideal composition for beef patties that will lead to juicy burgers while avoiding excessive greasiness.

Each patty is individually frozen for easy separation and the hamburger patties are intended to be cooked from frozen. The cattle are raised without antibiotics or hormones and are 100% grass-fed.

Why Grass-Fed Hamburgers?

There are a few different nutritional reasons to choose grass-fed over grain-fed beef. Grass-feeding cows lead to cows that have lower total fat pound for pound. I don't think that's going to make a difference with the hamburger patties here because the burgers are all specifically 80% lean and 20% fat, but the cows overall will have less fat.

Grass-fed beef also provides two-six times more Omega 3 fatty acids than feed-lot beef. The beef is also abundant in Vitamins A, E, B12, B6, and selenium. It's an overall more nutrient-dense piece of meat compared to grain-fed cows. There are also many nutrients in beef that won't be found inground turkey burgers or chicken burgers.

Costco Frozen Burgers Cost Comparison

At $23.99 for a 5lb bag, each pound goes for $4.79, and each individual patty costs $1.60. This does seem a little pricey for a hamburger patty, but it's quite the deal compared to the non-grass-fed burgers offered at Costco.

My Costco location only offers one other frozenground beef burger and that is Kirkland Signatures Ground Chuck Sirloin. Costco sells 6 pounds of ground chuck patties for $24.99. The price per pound is $4.16 for the ground chuck burgers and the price per patty is $1.38.

For about $.65 more per pound or $0.22 a patty, you are getting grass-fed beef that is individually frozen for convenience with the ideal fat content for hamburgers. That is a great deal for the higher quality Costco grass-fed hamburger patties, where you can actually smell and taste the difference.

Costco does also sellImpossible Burgers for $6.99 a pound at retail or $4.99 a pound when on sale.

Costco Frozen Hamburger Patties - First Impression

As soon as you open this bag, the first thing you will notice is the smell. Grass-fed beef smells differently than regular grain-fed beef and the smell is extremely apparent with these hamburger patties. Some people may not like the smell, but I personally am ok with it. I'm glad the hamburgers smell the way they are supposed to, and its obvious these Kirkland Signature burger patties truly come from grass fed cows.

Looks-wise, these are your typical hamburger patties. They are made in a production plant, and while not perfectly round, each patty does have the same exact shape. Each Costco hamburger patty is flat on the top and bottom and about half an inch thick. Nothing is going to compare to a homemade, hand-shaped hamburger patty, but these Kirkland Signature patties are more than adequate.

Cooking Costco Grass Fed Patties scaled

So I've had these burgers and the other patties from Costco many many times over the years. For this review, I've cooked these burgers on the grill. I believe the grill really brings the best out of any hamburger patty, and the grill is unmatched when it comes to the smokiness, char, and overall look of a burger patty. Typically I use a burger rub when making any sort of hamburger but to really focus on the meat, I used just salt and pepper today.

Because these are individually frozen and can be cooked from frozen, you don't need to do any preparation ahead of time. I simply take them right out of the bag and place them directly on a hot grill. It makes for easy grilling!

The beef is sold frozen, but it still tastes very fresh. The patties cooked uniformly and I was able to achieve a nice medium cook on these Kirkland Signature grass-fed hamburger patties. There was a nice char on both sides and it took about 10 minutes to cook the burger all the way through.

When serving, I paired the Costco burger patty with a slice of Costco Tillamook Cheddar Cheese and a hamburger bun also purchased from Costco. The burger as a whole tasted delicious. The beef was juicy and flavorful and there was a distinct beef flavor with these Costco grass-fed patties.

Grass Fed Hamburger Nutritional Information

The nutritional profile for these hamburger patties is going to be pretty typical. There are 380 calories in each ⅓ pound burger, with 30g of fat, 0g of carbs, and 26g of protein. Each Costco burger patty contains only 100mg of sodium, which is good, but you will need to salt for taste. These numbers are going to be similar across the board for 80/20 hamburger patties because of the defined fat content.

Final Thoughts

This is a solid burger at a great price and without a doubt the best hamburger patty option at Costco. Grass-fed beef is usually much more expensive than their grain-fed counterparts, but with these Costco grass-fed patties, they are only $0.22 more. They provide a superior taste and have a higher overall quality that will lead to tastier and more enjoyable burgers.
