What is Beyond Meat?
Beyond Meat is a company known for producing plant-based meat substitutes that closely mimic the taste and texture of traditional animal-based meats.
Their products are a delicious alternative for vegans and vegetarians.
You need to try these Beyond Meat Burgers
When I’m not eating a beef burger, like these bacon cheeseburger sliders, I opt for a meatless option like these and I’m finally taking my recipe to paper, I mean the blog, and sharing it with you!
This all started as a fridge dump recipe when all I had were Beyond Meat Burgers, one tomato, mushrooms, a handful of spinach, pickles, and some eggs.
I’ve made a few variations of these “fridge dump burgers” but they’re all generally the same. Sometimes I’ll use sautéed spinach instead of lettuce or I’ll switch up the condiments.
These burgers are perfect if you’re looking to incorporate more plant based meats or when you just need something quick!
What do Beyond Burgers taste like?
The Beyond Meat Burger is a plant based burger burger that looks and cooks just like a ground beef burger.
Don’t get it twisted. Beyond Meat burgers are not beef. Duh. It would be crazy to say that these vegan burger patties taste just like beef burgers but….they are pretty darn close and tasty in their own way. And if you’re craving that juicy burger, these should satisfy the craving!
Trust me, its a darn good veggie burger.
The Beyond Meat Burger calories are surprisingly low, too. Often times, you might see the vegetarian alternative to foods you love spike in caloric intake, but these are right around the same as a beef burger.
Beyond Burger Recipe ingredients
To make this vegetarian burger recipe, all you need are:
- Beyond Meat burger patties

And the best part is, you can find all of these ingredients at your local Sprouts! I think most of us like our grocery shopping to be a one-and-done type of deal because who likes hunting down the exact recipe ingredients from multiple grocery stores?!

How To Make Beyond Meat Burgers
I’ve seen so many people overcook these burgers. Let me remind you that these burger patties are not raw beef, so they don’t need to be cooked to a crisp!
- To make the burgers, heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat with a drop of olive oil.
- Then cook each patty for 2-3 minutes on each side. They should have a nice sear, but not overcooked.
How To Make The Best Sautéed Mushrooms
Mushrooms are my jam you guys. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I make the BEST sautéed mushrooms. Friends who don’t even like mushrooms have told me they only like them when I make them, so that says something!
Here’s how I make the best sautéed mushrooms:
- Preheat a non-stick skillet with 2 tbsps of olive oil on medium-high heat. This is the one I have.
- Add the mushrooms and toss to coat. Then I like to sprinkle in some all-purpose seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat again and let the mushrooms sit for about 1 minute before tossing in the pan again. Cook them for a total of 3-4 minutes, only stirring occasionally. I love when they get a little crispy!
That’s pretty much it! They’re super easy to make and rich in flavor. My favorite mushrooms to use are a wild mushroom blend or shiitake, but you can use other mushrooms if you like.
How to serve this Beyond Burger Recipe
I like to spread a generous layer of special sauce (homemade Chick-Fil-A Sauce is great too) on the top bun and place the lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by a tomato, the burger, pickles, mushrooms, and top with the fried egg.
These burgers are great on their own or with a side of french fries, sweet potato fries, or air fryer vegetables.
Beyond Beef Burger storage
If you have leftover burgers, store the patties together in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. I recommend storing the burger toppings and buns separately in their own containers.
