Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the Impossible™ Burger, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ½ inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until a nice crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  3. 5

    Add the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt. Cover with a lid if using a skillet to help the cheese melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, add a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked cheeseburger patty, slices of tomato, pickles, and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
