I Can Has Cheeseburger Pie
1/2 onion, diced, divided
oil, as needed
1 (12 ounce) bag veggie burger crumbles (I use Boca)
1/2 cup water
1/4-1/3 (1 ounce) bag vegan onion soup mix
1-2 tablespoons ketchup or tomato sauce
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1-2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, or chopped dill pickle
2/3 cup biscuit mix (I use Heart Healthy Bisquick)
2 Ener-G egg replacers, prepared
2 tablespoons water
fresh tomatoes, sliced, to garnish
lettuce, chopped, to garnish
onion, diced, to garnish
dill pickles, to garnish
jalapenos, chopped, to garnish
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 4x8" loaf pan. Saute 1/2 the onion with a touch of oil. Add burger crumbles, water, onion soup mix and ketchup. Simmer for a few minutes.
2. Whisk in nutritional yeast and dill pickle relish. Combine egg replacer with biscuit mix and water. Spread out in prepared loaf pan. Top with burger filling. Bake for 20 minutes.
3. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve topped with garnishes, if desired.
It is strange I was craving this, as I had never had it when I was omni, and it never would have appealed to me. Strange what a sinus infection will do to you.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made this for dinner last night, and it was pretty tasty. No En R G eggs, so I ended up trying to substitute cornstarch and water, which was totally stupid. So aside from the part where I totally biffed the biscuit part, I'd give this recipe two paws up.
Instead of Boca crumbles, I used the recipe for "Basic Ground Beef," (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=29319.0).
Accidentally spilled some on the floor, and Boo Boo the cat thought it was great, too (which is impressive, because I actually tried to feed her a cheese burger one night, and she licked off only the ketchup and left the rest).
;)b Okay, I just have to make sure you get 4stars before I even MAKE this recipe. Now, I'm going to the store to get everything to make it. I'm not vegan, so I'll post my changes and how the worked.
(On a side note: Every time you can has, FSM kills a LOLcat. j/k <3 )
