Messy Burgers

Let's start this blog off right, with my most used dinner dish, veggie burgers. That's right. I am a vegetarian. Don't let that scare you away. Veggie burgers get a bad rap. People think they are supposed to tasted like a hamburger, which to me, is disgusting. Veggie burgers have their own unique taste and you have to learn to cook with it. I like to buy Boca vegan burgers because they are some of the least flavorful of veggie patties, which means I can manipulate the flavor into whatever I want. My husband and I aren't really your standard ketchup and mustard on a bun kinda folks, so here is our spin














Messy Burgers Ingredients:

4 Whole wheat buns
2 T butter
4 veggie patties
4 t. balsamic vinegar
2-3 T olive oil
1 white or yellow onion, chopped
4 c packed baby spinach
kosher salt as needed

4-5 cloves garlic minced
1 c. feta cheese

1) Lay veggie patties on grill, drizzle 1 t. balsamic vinegar on each patty then cook according to directions.
2) Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large skillet. Add minced garlic until fragrant, then add onions, cook until the onions start to get transparent, add spinach and salt and sauté until wilted.
3) Butter whole wheat buns and grill for about 1 minute or to your liking, then top with veggie patty, a generous scoop of the spinach and onion mixture then top it all off with a good 1/4 c of feta.

Serving this with sweet potato fries is a real winner. We eat these babies for dinner or lunch.
