Instructions
1-Gathering and Mixing Ingredients: First, heat your pan and cook 10 oz of vegan ground beef with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/3 cup of chopped onions, and 3 pressed garlic cloves over medium heat. Season the mixture with 2 teaspoons of Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, stirring until itβs nicely browned and fragrant. This step sets the base for the savory flavor that makes these burgers stand out.
2-Gathering and Mixing Ingredients: Once the beef mixture is ready, stir in 8 oz of pizza sauce to combine everything into a tasty filling. Next, prepare your hamburger buns by slicing them in half and placing them on a baking sheet. Top each bun half with the meat sauce mixture and sprinkle on 1/2 cup of vegan mozzarella for that gooey cheese effect.
3-Baking and Serving: Bake the assembled burgers at 420Β°F for about 10 minutes until the cheese melts and everything is hot. This quick bake ensures the buns get slightly crispy while the toppings blend perfectly. For the best results, let them cool for a minute before serving to avoid burns, and add extras like crushed red pepper flakes if you want some heat.
