Mother's Day Veggie Burgers

[CANYONERO]

This weekend I picked up a new (to me) 22" blue kettle from our own Charlie (thanks again!), just in time for Mother's Day!


To celebrate, we had a couple of our favorite mothers and their daughter over for dinner, and what better way to break in the new grill than with veggie burgers! I know this is a more meat-centric forum, but our friends are vegetarian, my wife and I are working on getting our weight down, and quite honestly I wanted to try my hand at making veggie burgers from scratch.



I used this recipe for the burgers, and then I baked them for about 45 minutes before tossing them on the grill to finish while we hung out in the garage.



After I finished getting a nice char on the burgers and toasting the buns, it was time to assemble:


We've got King's Hawaiian rolls, avocado, and a homemade pineapple slaw that my wife found out of Chrissy Teigen's latest cookbook.

Final review: Crazy delicious! Great burgers to top off a great day!

Looks good to me, not a thing wrong with eating healthy

At first I was like "veggie burgers" lol. Then I saw you made them from scratch, nice work!

One time I was grilling and my buddy's vegan girlfriend gave me some veggie burgers to grill...

I might have flipped them with a little pause on top of the real burgers, and maybe flipped the real ones with a pause on top of hers. That was back in my younger days, when I used to get drunk lol.

I wouldn't sneak beef grease in on a vegetarian nowadays

Glad to see that little guy back in cooking rotation.  Feel free to join our long runs any Saturday.  ‍♂️

Burgers look great.
I love the off-road package on the kettle...

Glad they were tasty—they certainly look good! My wife recently became friends with a vegan and we may have her and her husband over this summer. The recipe you shared may come in handy. Thanks!

Looks real good ... we sometimes make em .. we make em oval shaped and use Cuban bread ... Yours came out nice and the toppings sealed the deal

I'll be honest. I hope they tasted good, because they do not look like something I would want to eat.
