When I first transitioned to a vegan lifestyle, I searched for convenient, nutritious, and delicious meal options. The first product I purchased was the Augason Farms Bean Burger Mix, and it’s been a staple in my kitchen ever since. Today, I’m excited to share with you how I whip up these bean burgers quickly and effortlessly.
Ingredients and Equipment
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather what we’ll need:
- Augason Farms Bean Burger Mix
- Measuring cups
- Water
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Avocado spray
- Paper towels
- Burger mold
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Mold
First, we need to prepare our burger mold. Spray both sides of the mold with avocado spray and use a paper towel to spread it evenly. This step ensures that the mix doesn’t stick to the mold, making it easier to handle.
Portioning the Mix
For this recipe, I’m making eight burgers, which requires two cups of the dried bean burger mix. Measure out the mix and get ready to add water.
Mixing and Setting
Add water to the mix in your bowl and stir until the mixture is thoroughly wet. Pour the mixture into the bottom half of the open mold and let it sit for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the mix to harden slightly, making it easier to shape into burgers. While the mold is not essential, it simplifies the process, especially since the mix can be quite sticky.
Shaping the Burgers
After the mix has been set, place the top part of the mold on and flip it over. Open the mold, then close it again to ensure the burgers are well-formed. Once this step is complete, you’re ready to cook.
Cooking the Burgers
Heat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Place all eight burgers in the pan and cook each side for five minutes, making sure each side is well-browned.
Serving Suggestions
I love serving these burgers on a ciabatta bun, topped with pickles, ketchup, mustard, and sliced tomato. The combination of flavors is simply irresistible.
These bean burgers are not only quick and easy to make but also incredibly delicious. We’ve grown to love them so much that we now buy the mix in a 4-gallon bucket, saving 0.94 cents per ounce.
