Aldi's Frozen Smash Burgers Crowned 'Better Than Takeout' in Viral Review

In a recent viral video, content creator viral_plus_live has sparked a culinary debate by claiming that Aldi's frozen "Cattlemen's Ranch Smashed Burgers" are "better than takeout." The video, uploaded on August 4, 2025, from the United States, walks viewers through the simple process of preparing these frozen patties. The creator seasons the burgers with garlic powder and garlic salt, cooking them for four minutes per side. He then adds caramelized onions, bacon, and cheese to a toasted bun, assembling a double smash burger. The creator enthusiastically rates the finished product "10 outta 10," describing it as "juicy, moist, and flavorful." This bold claim has garnered significant attention, with viewers expressing both excitement and skepticism in the comments section. One user remarked, "Wait frozen to that??? Ok I m saving this video bc your really teaching me something!!!!!" while another simply stated, "Looks delicious." The video taps into the growing trend of budget-friendly meal solutions and the popularity of smash burgers, offering a convenient alternative for home cooks. While the review is highly positive, it remains to be seen if Aldi's frozen offering will truly dethrone traditional takeout options in the public's perception.
