Serving Suggestions
Plant-based protein burgers can be topped with all the fixins you know and love n a beef burger. Here are some of my favorite additions to these beef and sausage burgers:
- Pretzel buns – Pretzel bread makes for a perfect flavor pairing with the sausage in the burgers.
- Grainy Dijon mustard – Adds a savory touch.
- Red onion – For a little crunch and pop of color.
- Sauerkraut – Because sausage and sauerkraut were made for each other.
- Jalapeno peppers – Add slices of fresh or pickled peppers to kick up the heat.
Ingredients for Beyond Impossible Burgers
You will need the following:
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 14 ounces Impossible Foods vegan ground beef
- 3 links Beyond Meat Hot Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup pretzels – any shape is fine; they’re going to be chopped to breadcrumb consistency anyway (Pro Tip: Use a mini chopper to get the job done in seconds!)
- 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
How to Make Beyond Impossible Burgers
STEP ONE: For the flax egg: Into a small bowl, add the ground flaxseed and 2 1/2 tablespoons of water. Whisk to combine and set aside.
STEP TWO: For the burgers: Into a large mixing bowl crumble the vegan ground beef and sausage. Add the flax egg mixture, pretzel crumbs, vegan cheese, red onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cayenne pepper sauce, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Using your very clean hands, mix everything together until evenly combined.
STEP THREE: Divide ground meat mixture into 6 equal portions for veggie burgers or 12 equal portions for sliders. Form into patties by rolling each portion into a ball. Then, using the palm of your hand, flatten to desired thickness.
STEP FOUR: Place patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 7 minutes per side, or until heated through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F. Serve hot.
