These Vegan Hamburger Steaks make a savory meatless dinner that everyone at the table will love. Serve them with mashed potatoes & mushroom gravy to take them to the next level! In partnership with Dr. Praeger’s.
Did you ever think vegan and hamburger steaks would be in the same sentence? Well, friends, today is that day!
I know it’s still summertime, and we’re loving on fresh salads, popsicles, anything grilled and juicy fruit. But we still need some savory meals to enjoy for dinner, because I don’t know about you—I don’t like eating popsicles for dinner. (Though I have been known to eat loads of watermelon as a meal… I digress.)
Plus, once the school year hits in a month or two, I know you’re going to need some easy dinner recipes in your arsenal because life is going to get WAY too busy to browse through Pinterest for an hour. Do yourself a favor and save this recipe now, for your eating pleasure later!
Thankfully this recipe comes together in just about an hour. Start cooking at 6, eat at 7, pack the leftovers for lunch—my kind of meal.
I know it may be intimidating to make vegan hamburger steaks, mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy all for one quick, weeknight dinner, but don’t worry! The hamburger steaks only require hands-off cooking, so you can start boiling the potatoes while the “steaks” are in the oven. Then it’s just a matter of adding the mix-ins to the potatoes!
The mushroom gravy requires the most “hands-on” cooking, but even that is an overstatement. You just need to saute the mushrooms, then continue stirring as you add the rest of the ingredients. That’s it!
You might still be wondering, uhhhh Emilie, how the heck are you making *vegan* hamburger steaks? Our friends at Dr. Praeger’s are hooking us up with their NEW All American Veggie Burgers that are amazingly delicious and filling. Did I mention there are 25 grams of plant protein in each burger? Yasssss.
They’re a match made in heaven with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy, but I also can’t say no to a Dr. Praeger’s veggie burger on a whole-wheat bun with ketchup and pickles!
I promise that full-time plant eaters and omnivores alike will enjoy this savory, satisfying, stick-to-your-ribs-but-still-wholesome dinner. Warning—I’d make double because everyone will want seconds.
