Read MoreThere isn’t too much to this recipe to be honest. Fry up a couple of vegan burgers, make some special sauce, chop some veg and assemble! I only have a couple of tricks! If you want to actually do that whole double stack, like a traditional big mac…make your patties really thin! (But, honestly…they would be just as good as just a single regular burger.) Sometimes vegan cheese can take a little longer to melt so make sure to put in onto the top of your burgers as soon as you flip them! Just a little splash of liquid smoke and some minced garlic in the pan when you fry your burgers will make all the difference in the flavor profile!

Make a little extra because you’ll want to have some stashed in the fridge to top everything from your morning bagels to your vegetable soup!
