Hybrid Veggie Burger

Ingredients

  • 2 C uncooked rolled oats
  • 1 15 oz can white beans (include liquid)
  • 1/2 C ground flaxseed (or almond flour)
  • 1/4 C nutritional yeast
  • season w/ A-1 or BBQ sauce, lemon pepper, onion flakes, garlic flakes, ground black cumin seed
  • 2 defrosted commercial veggie burgers

Instructions

  • mix all ingredients (except commercial patties) together by hand (as though preparing meatloaf)
  • season & taste until you are happy w/ flavor
  • now add & mix in commercial patties
  • coat hands w/ corn meal (or flour)
  • shape into patties
  • bake at 420 degrees for 10 minutes
  • Flip burgers & bake additional 10+ minutes
  • (may choose to grill, instead of bake)
  • may refreeze uncooked or cooked patties
  • (if I freeze my cooked hybrid burgers they seem very dry. I heat them up later by steaming them in my rice cooker. I prefer to freeze them uncooked to prevent dryness. SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST)

ORIGINAL BURGERS

NEW NUTRITIONAL FACTS (started w/ 2 commercial patties, ended w/ 13 mixed patties)

  • Total Fat 36/13= approx 3 g + 3 g (almond flour) = 6 g fat per hybrid patty
  • saturated fat 10/13 = 0.77 g
  • trans fat 0/13 = 0 g
  • Cholesterol 0/13 = 0 mg
  • Sodium 700/13 = 54 mg

NOTE: According to USDA frozen food defrosted in the fridge under sanitary conditions may be safely refrozen. BEYOND & IMPOSSIBLE BURGERS that are sold “RAW” in supermarkets have been previously frozen. They are shipped frozen, then defrosted in the refrigerator at the market before being put on the shelf. At Costco they are sold in there original frozen condition. Impossible says their product may be refrozen without cooking them. Beyond says their product should not be refrozen (loses quality), but consumed within 10 days from the beginning of the thaw. Supermarkets provide dates on their thawed Beyond burgers. If bought unfrozen at markets I recommend purchasing the recently thawed product & preparing hybrids asap. Following USDA guidelines I choose to prepare hybrid burgers from two recently fridge-defrosted Beyond burgers. After prepping I refreeze the uncooked hybrid burgers immediately & cook them later. This prevents dryness experienced when I cook first, refreeze & re-thaw the hybrid.
