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.
