Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp. vegan butter
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion (minced)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 green bell pepper (seeded and minced)
  • 12 ounces vegan beefless crumbles
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp. vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 6 hamburger buns (toasted)

Method
 

  1. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once it is melted, add the onions, peppers, and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent and fragrant. Add the vegan beef crumbles, and sauté for another minute, until they are defrosted. Note: The cooking time on the vegan beef will vary depending on the brand you use.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, mixing to incorporate. Turn the heat to low and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated and you have a thick meat sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  3. Add 3/4-1 cup of filling to the bottom of a toasted bun. Top with top bun and serve immediately.
