Ingredients
  

  • For the Burgers
  • 6 refrigerated or frozen desired meatless burger patties
  • 6 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
  • Ultra Ketchup Topper
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml / 1.5 fl oz) chopped oil-packed dried tomato
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) red wine vinegar
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • Smoky Berry Topper
  • 3/4 cup (115 g / 4.1 oz) fresh blueberries and/or raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) bacon-flavor vegetable protein bits
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) cider vinegar
  • Double Pepper Topper
  • 3/4 cup (135 g / 4.8 oz) chopped roasted red sweet peppers
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) sugar
  • The Ultra Ketchup Topper is fantastic on roasted onion patties, especially when you add a few slices of fresh tomato.
  • Pair the sweet and savory Smoky Berry Topper with roasted garlic patties and a handful of peppery watercress.
  • For the Double Pepper Topper, use grilled vegetable patties and add some shredded yellow summer squash for a delightful texture contrast.
  • Make the toppers up to 3 days in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for an even faster meal assembly.
  • Always toast your buns! This simple step adds great texture and prevents the bun from becoming soggy from the sauce.
