About this recipe
This really is the best vegan hamburger recipe you’ll ever find. This vegan patty is flavorful, with a hint of jalapeños, and tons of umami flavor, and is perfect for summer. This vegan hamburger can be grilled, baked, or cooked in a skillet on the stove.
This recipe will soon become your favorite summer burger recipe. It comes together really fast and uses ingredients that we normally have on hand.
For me, hamburgers equal fun times. We usually make them when we have people over or my kids invite their friends for a pool party. We love to grill and eat them on the patio.
I set out all the condiments, and each person prepares their own vegan hamburger as they wish, with mayo, ketchup, onions, etc. But as you know, hamburgers are messy to eat, and the ketchup and other condiments will get on the tablecloth, towels, and everywhere!
INGREDIENTS for the best vegan burger
- This recipe’s flavor base consists of onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Together, they give this veggie burger that meaty, umami flavor that we all love.
- Potatoes and bread crumbs or panko are the hamburger binders. They hold the burgers together.
- Beans, any type, will do. These give substance to the dish.
- Ketchup, barbecue sauce, or tomato puree
- Chopped pickled jalapeño chili (optional)

How to make them
- In a skillet, add the tablespoon of oil and the onion. Once the onion is translucent, add the garlic and mushrooms. Leave on until all ingredients are cooked and begin to brown.
- Add the remaining ingredients to a large bowl and mix well with your hands. Add the vegetables from the pan, mix, and form 10 vegan burger patties.
- Cook as you wish: grilled, baked, or cooked in a skillet on the stove.

Veggie burger serving suggestions
Serve these burgers with homemade BBQ sauce, ketchup, and a big dollop of guacamole. I also love a good vegan mayo and some Dijon mustard. Homemade queso is also a great addition to this vegan burger.
I love a well-served burger that gives you a messy bite every time. But I love a worry-free bite because I know that everything will be spotless after washing it. I mean, with this powerful washer that has enhanced cleaning performance with power steam, I know I can relax and enjoy my day outdoors!
