All three of these easy weeknight summer meals include burgers but switched up a bit and with fun, simple sides. One way I simplify summer meals is having some BUBBA burgers in the freezer. In the beginning of the summer, I stock up and store BUBBA burgers in our freezer. Then, when it’s time for dinner, they go right from the freezer to the grill and are ready in about 10 minutes. There’s no thawing needed so it’s super convenient. Enjoy quality time in no time with BUBBA burgers.
