Ingredients

  

• 1 package Dinner rolls I like using potato rolls
• 4 cups Vegan ground beef
• 1 medium Onion finely diced
• 2 tablespoon Butter
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ½ teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Basil
• ½ cup Vegan Sour Cream
• ¼ cup Nutritional Yeast

Melty Cheese:

• 1 tablespoon Butter
• ¼ cup Soy milk may need more depending on brand of cheese used
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese

Topping:

• 1 tablespoon Vegan butter melted
• 2 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

 

• Saute onion in butter over medium/high heat until onions are translucent and cooked all the way through.
• Mix in spices.
• Mix in vegan ground meat and let cook until done.
• Turn off heat. Add in sour cream and nutritional yeast. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
• Cut the sheet of dinner rolls in half using a long bread knife. You now have a top sheet and a bottom sheet of bread. Place the bottom half on a baking sheet.
• Place the vegan ground mixture on the bottom half of the bread. Pack it down gently, but firmly so it doesn’t crumble out. Set aside.
• Prepare your melty cheese sauce!
• Add butter to a small pan over low/medium heat. Let it melt
• Once butter has melted, add in milk and cheese. Cook until melted all together. Stir consistently. (approx. 8-10 min)
• Drizzle cheese over vegan ground mixture. Place the top sheet of bread back on top.
• Brush top of bread with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
• Bake at 350 F. for 12-15 min or until buns are as crispy as you like.
• Cut along edges of the rolls before serving (as seen in video). Enjoy!

Substitutions

If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don’t fake it – only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

• Lettuce – instead of ice berg lettuce, you can use romaine lettuce or spinach
• Bun – use gluten free buns instead of white bread buns to make this gluten free
• Vegetarian – the beef hamburger can be replaced with a plant-based burger to make this vegetarian

Even if your reader doesn’t follow a specific diet (eg. gluten free), they may have friends or family that they’re cooking for that could use this. This is also a great idea to link out to another blogger with a similar recipe that fits a different diet.

Tips

Share something here that you think is key to making this recipe well, such as: Don’t overcook the burgers! Sear the outside and cook to a minimum internal temperature, but they should still be juicy for best results.
