Vegan Pizza Burgers

Vegan Pizza Burgers taste just like a pepperoni pizza in burger form! The veggie patty is seasoned with sausage style seasonings and smothered in dairy free cheese.

Today we are doing veggie burgers that taste like a slice of pepperoni pizza, topped with oooey gooey cheese all sandwiched between two golden brown, butter toasted buns.

Did I mention that these burgers are gluten-free, vegan, and STILL taste like a pepperoni cheese pizza in burger form?

This is the Vegan Pizza Burger and it is living its best life now.

It all started on a rainy afternoon: scrolling through Pinterest, listening to country music, doing the basic things that I do, when I saw a tall, juicy, cheese drenched pizza burger. It was zero percent gluten free, zero percent healthy, and zero percent plant based - scratch that, I'll give it a two percent for the piece of lettuce swimming in all that glorious cheese.

Had I not been allergic to nearly every ingredient in that burger, you had better believe I would have found myself one to chow down on in T minus 5 minutes flat.

Instead, I ran to the grocery store and picked up some ingredients. A little sausage seasoning here, some sun dried tomatoes there, a package of beautiful golden brown buns, and these Vegan Pizza Burgers were born.

Yes, the ingredient list on these burgers is a tad long.

But each one is hand picked to bring big pizza flavor! The sun dried tomatoes lend sweetness and marinara-esque flavor, the fennel makes these burgs legit taste like pepperoni sausage, and the other seasonings bring the Italian flavors to life!

Toss everything in the food processor and let it work its chopping blending magic. Out comes the perfect burger dough and then they get formed into (generously sized) patties and popped into the oven.

And do I even need to mention the cheese? Slide it onto the burgers in last 5 minutes and watch gooey, stringy, melty pizza goodness take form.
