What Makes a Great Burger Patty? Why Beef & Bacon Is a Winning Combination

A great burger isn’t about complicated ingredients or flashy techniques. It comes down to balance: good meat, the right amount of fat, and simple cooking that lets both shine.
At Our Cow, our Grass Fed Beef & Bacon Burger Patties are built on exactly that principle. They’re one of the most popular items in our range for a reason: they’re reliable, full of flavour, and incredibly easy to cook well.
The Foundation of Any Good Burger: Quality Meat
The starting point for any great burger is the beef itself. Our Grass Fed Beef & Bacon Burger Patties are made using 100% grass fed Australian beef, sourced directly from farmers who raise cattle on open pasture.
Grass fed beef brings a cleaner, more pronounced beef flavour than grain-fed alternatives. It also responds well to high-heat cooking, developing a deep, savoury crust without becoming greasy.
When beef is the hero, you don’t need much else.
Why Fat Matters in Burger Patties
Fat is essential in burgers, not just for flavour, but for texture and juiciness. Too little fat, and a patty dries out. Too much and it becomes greasy.
Bacon solves this problem naturally.
By blending real bacon into the beef, these patties gain:
- Natural fat content that melts during cooking
- Salinity that enhances flavour without heavy seasoning
- Moisture retention that keeps the burger juicy
Rather than relying on fillers or binders, our Grass Fed Beef & Bacon Burger Patties achieve balance through real ingredients.
What Sets Beef & Bacon Burgers Apart
Many supermarket burgers rely on added ingredients to improve texture or bulk out patties. At Our Cow, we take a different approach.
Our Grass Fed Beef & Bacon Burger Patties contain:
- Grass fed beef
- Free-range bacon
- Simple seasoning
That’s it. No fillers. No unnecessary extras. Just meat, prepared properly.
This simplicity is what makes them so consistent. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or feeding a crowd, you know exactly what you’re getting.
Designed for Everyday Cooking
Grass Fed Beef & Bacon Burger Patties are built for real life. They’re ideal for:
- Quick midweek dinners
- Casual summer BBQs
- Feeding kids and adults alike
- Cooking straight from the freezer
They don’t require careful handling or precise timing. A hot pan or BBQ plate, a single flip, and they’re ready.
That reliability is why they’re a freezer staple for so many Our Cow customers.
