STEP ONE: Preheat grill to 375 degrees F.STEP TWO: Prepare the patties. Into a large mixing bowl, crumble the vegan sausage and ground beef. Add steak seasoning blend, garlic powder, and Italian flat-leaf parsley. Using your very clean hands, mix and mash the ingredients until fully combined.STEP THREE: Divide the mixture into 6 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use the palm of your hand to flatten each ball into a patty of about 1/2-inch thickness. Set the prepped patties aside.STEP FOUR: Prepare the topping. Into a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the red onions, cubanelle peppers, and mushrooms. Saute for 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Season to taste with sea salt and ground black pepper.STEP FIVE: Cook the burgers. Over your preheated grill, place the burger patties on direct heat. Grill for about 7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.STEP SIX: Assemble the burgers. While burgers are still on the grill, add a spoonful of the pepper and mushroom mixture to each. Top each burger with a slice of provolone cheese then close the grill and allow the cheese to melt.STEP SEVEN: Place your buns face-side down on the direct heat of your grill and toast for 1-2 minutes. Place cooked burgers on the toasted buns and add any additional toppings and serve warm.No grill? No problem!
Vegan Italian Sausage Burgers can just as easily be made over the stove!All you have to do is treat your skillet like a grill by preheating over medium-high before adding the burger patties.
