Serve this burger on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle slice and Valerie’s Vegan Thousand Island Dressing.

 

• 1 package Lightlife Smart Ground Original

• ¾ cup dried breadcrumbs

• ¼ cup catsup

• 1 tsp. Annie’s Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp. onion powder

• ½ tsp. garlic powder

• ½ tsp. pepper

• ½ tsp. salt

• 3 tsp. EnerG Egg Replacer mixed with 4 T water

 

In a bowl, mix the Lightlife with the breadcrumbs, catsup, worcestershire and spices.  In a separate small bowl, mix the Ener G Egg Replacer powder with the water and stir well.  Add the EnerG/water slurry to the burger mix.  Using your hands, mix together well, than form into 4 bun size patties or 8 slider patties, depending on desired size.  Wrap the patties in parchment, and then in heavy foil and freeze for at least one hour.  

 

To heat, simply remove the patties from the freezer and cook on an oiled grill or in a pan with a little olive oil for about 3 minutes per side or until brown.
