MorningStar Farms Original Burgers
What it is
These are frozen plant-based burger patties designed to offer a satisfying burger experience without meat. They are made from a blend of ingredients that mimic the texture and flavor of traditional beef burgers. The patties are pre-formed and ready for cooking, making them a convenient option for quick meals. They are a popular choice for those seeking meatless alternatives in their diet.
How people cook with it
These versatile patties can be prepared in several ways and are a base for many different meal ideas.
- On a bun with toppings
- Crumbled into chili
- In a lettuce wrap
You can cook these burgers on a grill, in a skillet, or in the oven. For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until heated through and lightly browned. In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side. In the oven, place the frozen patties on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the burgers are heated thoroughly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional beef burgers, these patties are made entirely from plant-based ingredients. This results in a different texture and flavor profile, often with a slightly softer bite. They also do not contain any animal products, making them suitable for vegetarians and vegans who consume dairy and eggs, or for those simply looking to reduce their meat consumption.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful meatless burger option often choose these patties.
How to keep the rest
Keep these burgers frozen until ready to use. For best quality, store them in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Once thawed, do not refreeze. If you have cooked any leftover patties, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
