Impossible Burger vs. Beyond Burger: Which Plant-Based Patty Reigns Supreme?

If you’ve ever found yourself in the grocery aisle trying to decide between the Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger, you’re not alone! These two plant-based powerhouses have dominated the vegan and vegetarian burger market, but which one is the right choice for you? In this blog post, we’re breaking down five key comparison points—ingredients, nutritional value, taste, texture, and sustainability. Plus, we’ll share step-by-step instructions on how to cook both burgers perfectly on the Blackstone griddle. Read on to find out which burger reigns supreme!

1. Ingredients: What’s Inside These Patties?

One of the main differences between the Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger is their base ingredients. The Impossible Burger gets its meaty flavor from a unique ingredient called heme, which is found in soy leghemoglobin. This is what gives the Impossible Burger that signature “bleed” when cooked, making it look and taste more like real beef. On the other hand, the Beyond Burger uses pea protein as its base, with beet juice added for color. This makes Beyond a great option for those who are looking to avoid soy in their diet.

Verdict: If you’re sensitive to soy, go for the Beyond Burger. Otherwise, both are packed with plant-based protein.

2. Nutritional Value: How Do They Stack Up?

Let’s take a look at the nutritional breakdown. The Impossible Burger contains 240 calories, 14 grams of fat, and 19 grams of protein per patty. The Beyond Burger comes in slightly lower, with 230 calories, 14 grams of fat, and 20 grams of protein. While they’re almost identical, Beyond edges out with a slight advantage in protein content, which might matter to those tracking their macros closely.

Verdict: If you’re watching your protein intake, Beyond has a slight advantage with 1 more gram of protein per serving.

3. Taste & Texture: Which One Delivers That “Real” Burger Experience?

When it comes to taste, both burgers offer a satisfying experience, but with different profiles. The Impossible Burger is known for its juicy, beefy flavor, closely mimicking traditional beef. Its texture is softer, making it perfect for a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The Beyond Burger, however, has a firmer texture with a smokier, grilled flavor that stands out. It even retains a bit of red coloring after cooking, thanks to the beet juice.

Verdict: If you’re after that classic beef burger flavor, Impossible Burger takes the lead. But if you prefer a firmer bite with a smoky, grilled vibe, Beyond Burger wins.

4. Cooking Versatility: Which One Performs Best?

Both the Impossible and Beyond Burgers cook similarly to beef patties, but there are a few nuances. The Impossible Burger is slightly flatter and cooks faster—perfect for a quick meal. Meanwhile, the Beyond Burger is thicker, so it takes a bit longer to cook, but it holds up beautifully on the grill, offering those Instagram-worthy grill marks. Whether you’re pan-frying, grilling, or air-frying, both patties are versatile enough to suit your cooking style.

Verdict: Beyond Burger is ideal for grilling, while the Impossible Burger excels in quick pan-searing.

5. Sustainability: Making a Difference with Every Bite

Both brands have made impressive strides in sustainability. Impossible Foods claims that their burger uses 87% less water and 96% less land compared to a traditional beef burger. Beyond Meat boasts even more impressive numbers, using 99% less water and 93% less land. So, whichever one you choose, you’re making a significant environmental impact by opting for a plant-based burger.

Verdict: No matter which one you pick, both are great for the environment!

How to Cook Impossible & Beyond Burgers on the Blackstone Griddle

Now that you know the key differences between these two burgers, let’s dive into how to cook them to perfection on a Blackstone griddle.

Step 1: Preheat the Griddle
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F. You want it hot enough to get a good sear on those patties.

Step 2: Oil the Griddle
Add a bit of avocado oil to the griddle for its high smoke point, ensuring the patties won’t stick.

Step 3: Cook the Patties
Place both burgers on the griddle. The Beyond Burger is thicker, so it needs about 3-4 minutes per side, while the Impossible Burger only requires 2-3 minutes per side. Remember, the Beyond Burger will still have a red color when done due to the beet juice, so don’t worry if it looks a bit undercooked.

Step 4: Flip & Finish Cooking
Flip the patties and cook for an additional 5 minutes. For a fully cooked burger, both patties should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. If needed, cover them with a dome for 5 minutes to help cook the insides evenly.

Step 5: Toast the Buns & Assemble
While the patties cook, toast your buns on the griddle for 1-2 minutes. Once everything is ready, assemble with your favorite toppings.

Final Thoughts: Taste Test

After cooking both burgers, we found that each has its unique qualities. The Impossible Burger shines with its juicy, beef-like taste, while the Beyond Burger’s firmer texture and smoky flavor make it a standout option for those who love grilling.

Smashed Sausage & Peppers Tacos on the Blackstone

Looking for a crowd-pleasing, easy-to-make dish to bring to your next barbeque or family party? Look no further than these vegan Smashed Sausage & Peppers Tacos cooked on the Blackstone griddle. This recipe combines savory Impossible sausage, fresh bell peppers, and onions for a flavorful taco experience everyone will love. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and a surefire hit for any gathering!

To start, prep your Impossible sausage by weighing out six equal portions, about 2.3 ounces each. Place each portion onto a Mission Yellow Corn Tortilla and use a spatula to spread the sausage evenly across the surface. This step ensures that every bite of your taco is packed with that savory sausage flavor, making each taco the perfect handheld treat.

Next, it’s all about getting those veggies ready. Slice up your green peppers and white onion – these will add a fresh, vibrant crunch to your tacos. Heat up 2 cups of Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce in the microwave to have it ready for drizzling. With minimal prep, you’re on your way to creating a delicious meal in no time.

When it comes to cooking on the Blackstone, having the right tools is key. I always use my trusty 36 in. Blackstone griddle for even cooking and perfect results every time. The Blackstone accessory kit is a must-have for handling all your grilling needs, and I can’t live without the Blackstone Silicone Spatula Mat to keep my workspace clean. For precise temperature control, I rely on a Digital Infrared Thermometer Gun. Don’t forget to have a 16oz Oil Dispenser Bottle handy for quick oiling, and if you’re making breakfast on the griddle too, the Blackstone 4-Piece Griddle Breakfast Kit is a game-changer. For prep and storage, I recommend the WÜSTHOF Gourmet 16-Piece Knife Block Set and Pyrex Simply Store 12-Pack Mixed Sized Glass Food Storage Set. Don’t forget your Carlisle FoodService Trays to transport everything from the kitchen to the grill with ease.

Equipment

  • 1 Blackstone

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large onion Sliced
  • 2 Green peppers Sliced
  • 14 oz. Impossible Savory Ground Sausage Meat
  • 6 Misson Yellow Corn Tortillas
  • 2 cups Pasta Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Shredded Parm Cheese

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Veggies and Sauce

  • Start by cleaning and slicing your green peppers, then move on to slicing the large white onion. These will add a fresh, crunchy texture to your tacos. While you're at it, portion out your 2 cups of Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce and pop it in the microwave to heat up.

Step 2: Prepare the Impossible Sausage

  • Now it's time to get the Impossible sausage ready. Open the tube and weigh out six roughly 2.3 oz. portions. Place each portion on a Mission Yellow Corn Tortilla and use a spatula to spread the sausage evenly across the tortilla. This ensures every bite of your taco is loaded with savory goodness.

Step 3: Get Ready to Grill

  • With your veggies prepped and the sausage spread on the tortillas, it’s time to head to the grill. Use trays to transport everything outside—your peppers, onions, tortillas, and shredded parm cheese. Preheat your grill to 350-375°F and spray some avocado oil across the center of the grill top.

Step 4: Cook the Peppers, Onions, and Tortillas

  • Once the grill is heated, add the peppers and onions, cooking them until they’re softened. Use a dome and a spritz of water to speed up the cooking process. When they’re ready, remove them from the grill and set them aside in a bowl.
  • Next, spray a bit more oil on the grill and add your tortillas, backside down first, to create a crunchy outside. After a minute, flip the tortillas so the sausage side is facing down. Let them simmer for a moment, then press down on each taco with your grill press to form a good crust.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

  • When the tortillas have a nice crust, remove them from the grill and place them in taco holders, bending them down the center. Fill each taco with the grilled peppers and onions, drizzle on the heated pasta sauce, and sprinkle a bit of dairy-free shredded parm cheese on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Vegan Gluten-Free Big Mac Smashed Tacos on the Blackstone

If you’re looking for an easy and delicious vegan recipe that will impress both vegans and meat-lovers alike, look no further than these Vegan Gluten-Free Big Mac Smashed Tacos on the Blackstone. This recipe combines the nostalgic flavors of a classic Big Mac with the fun and convenience of tacos, all while being entirely plant-based and gluten-free. Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight dinner or a family cook out, these tacos are sure to be a hit.

One of the standout features of this recipe is the homemade Big Mac sauce. It’s incredibly easy to make and uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. By using vegan Hellmann’s mayo, the sauce becomes completely vegan without sacrificing any of the creamy, tangy goodness that makes it so irresistible. Just mix together the mayo, organic ketchup, sweet relish, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of paprika, and you’ll have a sauce that tastes just like the original.

The plant-based Impossible Meat is the star of these tacos, providing a meaty texture and flavor that can fool even the most dedicated carnivores. Impossible Meat is known for its ability to mimic the taste and mouthfeel of real meat, and it does not disappoint here. When cooked on the grill, it develops a perfect crust that adds a delightful crunch to each bite, making these tacos not only tasty but also satisfying and indulgent.

To keep this recipe gluten-free, we’ve opted for corn taco shells. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, making them a great alternative to traditional flour tortillas. They provide a slightly sweet and earthy flavor that complements the savory filling perfectly. Plus, they get wonderfully crispy on the grill, adding another layer of texture to these already delicious tacos. With this recipe, you can enjoy all the flavors you love in a Big Mac, without any of the gluten or animal products.

Instant Pot: When it comes to meal preparation methods, although I have a personal preference for using the Instant Pot, all recipes shared are suitable for stove-top cooking as well. When I opt for stove-top preparation, I typically utilize a 6.4 cups Dutch oven for soups. Both methods will have printable recipes available below to cater to different preferences.

Pyrex bundle: Before starting the cooking process, it’s recommended to gather and portion out all necessary ingredients, ideally completing some preparatory steps the night before to streamline the process. Using Pyrex containers not only makes storage easier but also doubles as a way to measure ingredients, reducing the need for repeated use of measuring cups. Furthermore, making sure the dishwasher is empty before starting helps speed up the cleanup after cooking.

Vegetable broth: In an effort to optimize cost-effectiveness, I have found purchasing vegetable broth cubes in bulk from online retailers such as Amazon to be a prudent alternative to carton-packaged broth. These cubes can be easily dissolved using an electric kettle and measuring cup set, providing a convenient solution for meal preparation. This equals $0.20 a cup.

16 oz. pint containers: For meal portioning, I suggest using 16 oz plastic pint containers, which provide an appropriate serving size without encouraging overconsumption. These containers, conveniently sold in packs of 50 on Amazon, are dishwasher-safe and freezer-compatible, providing versatile storage options.

Peppers

In addition to the tantalizing recipe itself, let’s delve deeper into the culinary wonders behind our Vegan Gluten-Free Unstuffed Peppers. Peppers, often praised for their vibrant colors and crisp textures, are the shining stars of this dish. From the classic green bell peppers to the sweeter varieties like red, orange, and yellow, each adds its own unique flavor profile and visual appeal to the mix. Whether you opt for a single color or a medley of hues, the result is a visually stunning dish that’s as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate.

Rice

But let’s not overlook the importance of the rice component in this recipe. While rice might seem like a humble ingredient, its role in the dish is anything but ordinary. By choosing the right type of rice, you can elevate the overall texture and flavor of your Unstuffed Peppers to new heights. White rice offers a light and fluffy consistency, while brown rice brings a nutty depth of flavor and added nutritional benefits. For those looking to experiment further, consider exploring exotic rice varieties such as jasmine, basmati, or even wild rice blends, each imparting its own unique character to the dish.

Impossible Meat

Now, let’s talk about the plant-based protein powerhouse that is Impossible meat. Made from simple, wholesome ingredients and packed with protein, this meat alternative adds a hearty and satisfying element to our Unstuffed Peppers. Not only does it mimic the texture and taste of traditional ground meat, but it also provides a cruelty-free and environmentally sustainable option for those looking to reduce their meat consumption. With Impossible meat, you can enjoy all the savory goodness of meat without compromising on taste or ethics.
