Instructions

 

Prepare the Patty Mix

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onions, minced garlic, gluten-free soy sauce, Dijon mustard, egg, salt, and pepper. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat. This keeps the patties tender and juicy. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  

Shape the Patties

• Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Using your hands, shape each portion into a patty that’s about ¾ inch thick. Press a slight indentation in the middle of each patty to ensure even cooking.
  

Cook the Patties

• Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness. If you’re adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking, then cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese to perfection.
  

Toast the Gluten-Free Buns

• While the patties are cooking, toast your gluten-free hamburger buns in a separate pan or on the grill. Toasting adds a layer of texture to the bun and helps prevent it from becoming soggy when stacked with toppings.

Assemble the Burger

• On the bottom half of each toasted bun, spread gluten-free ketchup and mustard. Place the patty on top, followed by avocado slices, fresh lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Top with the remaining half of the bun, and your Wheatless Wonder Burger is ready to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I prepare the burger patties ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the patties ahead of time. Simply mix and shape the patties, then place them in an airtight container separated by parchment paper. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to meld even more. For longer storage, freeze the patties for up to three months and thaw them in the fridge before cooking.

2. Can I substitute the gluten-free soy sauce with something else?

Absolutely! If you don't have gluten-free soy sauce, you can use tamari or coconut aminos as a gluten-free alternative. Both options provide a similar umami flavor while keeping the recipe gluten-free.

3. What’s the best way to keep gluten-free buns from falling apart?

Gluten-free buns can be fragile, but toasting them helps create a sturdier base. Another tip is to layer ingredients carefully; for example, start with spreads like ketchup and mustard to prevent moisture from seeping into the bread. Using lettuce as a barrier between the patty and bun can also help keep the bun intact.

4. Can I make this burger dairy-free as well?

Of course! Simply omit the cheddar cheese or replace it with your favorite dairy-free cheese alternative. There are many excellent plant-based cheddar-style slices that melt beautifully and pair perfectly with the other flavors in this burger.

5. What side dishes pair well with the Wheatless Wonder Burger?

This burger pairs wonderfully with healthy sides like sweet potato fries, a light cucumber salad, or roasted vegetables. For something extra refreshing, try a side of coleslaw made with a tangy gluten-free dressing. If you’re hosting a barbecue, grilled corn on the cob is another fantastic option!
