What?! A cheeseburger recipe that doesn’t contain cheese?
Yes, it’s true!
The nutritional yeast in this recipe has a surprisingly “cheesy” taste, making it a satisfying dairy-free option.
Try this with ground beef, chicken, turkey, or meat substitute.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
1 - 2 Tbsp olive oil
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tsp pink Himalayan salt, divided
2 tsp ground pepper
½ large onion, diced
1 cup (120 g) mushrooms, sliced
1 lb. (450 g) ground meat / meat substitute
1 Tbsp yellow mustard
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp liquid aminos
1 tsp garlic powder
Toppings (choose your favorites):
Lettuce / Tomato / Avocado
Crumbled bacon
Pickles
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over med-high heat with about 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add the potatoes with about 1 tsp each of salt and pepper. Saute for about 10 - 12 minutes until brown and barely fork-tender.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes to a plate and set aside. Lower the heat and add the onion to the skillet and cook for 3 - 4 minutes before adding the garlic and saute for 1 minute before adding the mushrooms.
Cook until the onions and mushrooms start to soften. Push the veggies off to the side and add the ground meat or meat substitute to the center of the skillet and stir to break it up. Add the mustard, tomato paste, nutritional yeast, liquid aminos, garlic powder, and the rest of the salt and pepper.
Cook the meat until it reaches your desired level of doneness and add the potatoes back to the skillet, and stir to combine the mixture.
When the potatoes are heated through, serve with suggested toppings.
