I know that hamburgers aren't fine dining, but sometimes I just want
one. Not a fast-food burger, either, a real one. There are a couple
of places here in town that will serve a decent burger, but due to
scheduling, time (and sometimes money) it's not always an option.
Meanwhile, I have a George Foreman grill sitting at home that I've
never used.

I could stack up a bunch of raw hamburger patties on waxed paper in a
container in the fridge, and fry one when I want one. Problem is,
i'll have to commit to eating burgers for every meal to avoid waste.
I don't mind eating burgers that much, but it's not very healthy.

So, in lieu of that, would it be best to:

1) make a bunch of raw patties and freeze them. Pull one out when I
want one and put it straight on the grill- no thawing, just go from
frozen to cooked. I know that there are pre-frozen patties for this
use available in the supermarket, but by doing this myself I hope to
have something that is a better grade of beef and is less processed.

2) fry a bunch of patties and freeze them in a cooked state. Pull one
out when I want one and microwave it. This is the quickest
preparation, but will the taste and texture suffer more?

What do you suppose the shelf lives in the freezer would be for the
two options?

Sorry for the dumb questions.

Thanks
