Ingredients

• 2 Beyond Burger patties
• 2 vegan burger buns, toasted
• 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 4 leaves of romaine lettuce, washed and dried
• 4 dill pickle slices
• 1 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter, for cooking
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: vegan cheese slices, avocado, jalapeños

Equipment

• Non-stick skillet or grill pan
• Spatula
• Knife and cutting board
• Small mixing bowl
• Toaster or oven for buns
• Plate for assembling burgers

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegan sauce: In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and ketchup until smooth. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Toast the buns: Lightly toast the vegan burger buns using a toaster or in a skillet with a little olive oil or vegan butter until golden brown. This adds a lovely crunch and prevents sogginess.
3. Cook the Beyond Burger patties: Heat the non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter. Place the Beyond Burgers in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and heated through. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
4. Optional cheese step: If using vegan cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan briefly to melt.
5. Assemble the burgers: Spread the vegan sauce evenly on both the top and bottom buns. Layer the bottom bun with romaine lettuce leaves, then place the cooked Beyond Burger patty on top.
6. Add toppings: Add slices of tomato, red onion, and dill pickles. Feel free to add avocado or jalapeños for extra creaminess or heat.
7. Top it off: Place the top bun on the burger and press gently to secure all layers.
8. Serve immediately: Enjoy your juicy, flavorful Beyond Burger with your favorite side dishes.

Tips & Variations

Pro tip: Let the Beyond Burger rest for a minute after cooking to lock in all the juices. This will keep your burger moist and tender.

If you want to add a smoky flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or liquid smoke to the patty before cooking. For a spicy kick, mix some sriracha into your vegan mayo sauce.

Looking for a different bun? Try a whole wheat or gluten-free bun to mix things up.

You can also swap romaine for arugula or baby spinach for a peppery twist.

For a more gourmet version, add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions as toppings. And if you love a good side, check out our Kansas City Coleslaw Recipe for a crunchy, tangy accompaniment.
