Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds sweet onions, thinly sliced (about 4 medium onions)
  • ¼ cup neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 vegan burgers (ones that thaw first are best)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 hoagie rolls, toasted if desired
  • 4 slices vegan cheese cheese
  • sliced tomatoes
  • shredded lettuce
  • mayo or ketchup (sub with favorite condiments)

Instructions

  • Add oil to a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and toss them to coat with oil. Add 1 teaspoon salt then stir one more time.
  • Cook the onions, stirring and scraping up the bottom of the pan every 5 minutes with a wooden spoon. Cook for 25-35 minutes. Around 20 minutes onions will start to smell caramelized. Around 30 minutes onions should be blonde in color and thickened. Cook longer for a deeper caramelized flavor or move on once to your liking. Turn down heat if you notice they are cooking too quickly or burning.
  • Add the burgers to the pan with the onions and salt and pepper to taste. Begin chopping until they are a crumbled like texture. Cook 10 minutes or according to the packaged instructions. Should reach 165˚F.
    *Alternatively, remove the onions if desired as a topping, but cook the burgers in the same skillet.
  • Once crumbled and heated through, add four slices of cheese on top. Add skillet lid and remove from heat. Let sit for about 3-4 minutes or until cheese has melted.
  • Add ¼ of the mixture to a hoagie roll with lettuce, tomatoes and your favorite condiments. Serve and enjoy!
