Ingredients

• 4 pieces Vegetarian burger patties
• 8 strips Plant-based bacon strips
• 4 slices Cheese slices
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 small Red onion
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard to create the spread. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Cook the vegetarian burger patties according to package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes per side, or until warmed through and golden brown. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 5

In a separate skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the plant-based bacon strips over medium-high heat until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Step 6

Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet for about 1 minute until golden brown on the inside.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers: spread a tablespoon of the prepared sauce on the bottom bun, top with a lettuce leaf, a cheese-covered veggie patty, two strips of plant-based bacon, a slice of tomato, a few onion rings, and then cover with the top bun.

Step 8

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining burgers.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
