Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Cover the formed burger patties with brown gravy mix or bread crumbs.
- Mash spoonfuls into a heated skillet with vegetable oil and cook until browned and heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped bell peppers or mushrooms. If you want a firmer burger, increase the amount of bread crumbs slightly. You can substitute the cheese with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan version. Experiment with spices like smoked paprika or cumin for a unique twist. If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread crumbs.
Serving Suggestions
These veggie burgers are delicious served on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado. They pair wonderfully with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad dressed with vinaigrette. For an extra kick, add a spoonful of sriracha or your choice of sauce. Try pairing them with Yogurt Pudding for a delightful dessert.
