GIANT STUFFED BURGER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, lay 5 of the bacon strips down back to back. Lifting up every other strip, fold about 1-inch (2 cm) the bacon back on itself. Lay another slice of bacon perpendicular to the strips and fold the flaps back over the horizontal strip of bacon. Repeat with the rest of the bacon until a tight weave has formed.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until desired crispiness has been reached.
• In a 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet heat the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until a deep gold color, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, mix together the beef, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Divide the beef mixture in half.
• On a piece of parchment paper spread half of the meat into a large circle about 10 inches (25 cm) long and 1 inch (2 cm) thick. Repeat with the other half of meat on a separate piece of parchment paper.
• Sprinkle half of the cheddar and half of the Monterey Jack over one disk of ground beef, along with half of the parsley. Place the bacon lattice on top.
• Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar and Monterey on top of the bacon lattice, along with the rest of the parsley.
• Top with the caramelized onions. Place the other circle of meat on directly on top. Begin pinching together the meat patties making sure the fillings are not coming out, until a giant burger is formed.
• Heat a greased 10 inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place the giant burger in the skillet carefully while peeling away the bottom piece of parchment. Cook for 5 minutes, until it is a deep brown color.
• Using a large plate, place it over the skillet. While holding the plate in place flip the skillet so the burger falls onto to plate. Place the skillet back on the heat and slide the burger back into the pan so the cooked side is facing up now. Cook for another 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and place skillet in the oven to finish cooking for 5 minutes
• Remove from pan using spatulas and place on a cutting board for serving.
• Cut into 8 or more pieces. Serve on a roll with lettuce and tomato.
• Enjoy!

THE BEST VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Place mushrooms and onion on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and toss to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and add black beans to the pan. Cook until mushrooms and onions are browned and beans are dried on the surface, about 5 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add rice and walnuts and pulse until roughly chopped. Add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and pulse until just combined. Add egg and pulse until just combined.
• Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and fold in bread crumbs until well mixed. Chill for 10 minutes.
• Form mixture into 8 patties and season each with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Add 4 patties and cook, undisturbed, until browned and a nice crust has formed, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until done, 4 to 5 more minutes. Top with Muenster cheese and place on toasted buns.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and repeat to cook remaining patties.

THE ULTIMATE VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice tofu into 1/4-inch-thick slabs and pat dry with paper towel. Arrange tofu on one half of a rimmed baking sheet; brush both sides with oil. Spread mushrooms on the other half of the baking sheet; toss with 2 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper.
• On a second rimmed baking sheet, toss beans and grated beet with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper, then spread the mixture into one layer.
• Transfer both baking sheets to the oven. Roast bean-beet mixture, tossing occasionally, until beans begin to split and beets are tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Roast mushrooms and tofu until golden and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 25 minutes. Let everything cool.
• Place nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add cooled bean-beet mixture, mushrooms, tofu, panko, cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, scallion, garlic, pimentón and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until ingredients are just combined. Pulse in tempeh and rice but do not overprocess. You want small chunks, not a smooth mixture. Scrape mixture into a bowl and chill at least 2 hours or up to 5 days (you can also freeze the burger mix).
• When you are ready to make the burgers, divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Return to the fridge until just before grilling. They grill better when they start out cold.
• Heat the grill. Cook the burgers over a low fire until they are charred on both sides and firm when you press on them, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If they start to burn before they firm up, move them to the sides of the grill to finish cooking over indirect heat. Alternatively, you can cook these on a grill pan or in a skillet over low heat.
