Fancy Pants Burgers

Let’s get the jump on grilling season tonight. Beyond Meat patties are served open-face-style smothered with rich tasting browned mushroom sauce. I call them “Fancy Pants” Burgers because they aren’t your normal backyard burger! Each burger is finished with Gorgonzola (or blue cheese) crumbles and chopped tomato. A nice green salad and fresh fruit finish the meal.

Set a couple of frozen Beyond Meat Patties in the fridge to thaw this AM.
