Black & Blue Veggie Burgers & Amy's Review & Giveaway

Since embarking on this whole meatless 5 days a week thing, I've been on the hunt for the perfect veggie burger. I'm not really the best at making them so I opt for the frozen variety. When I discovered Amy's California Burger I was pleasantly surprised. For one, I'm not a fan of veggie burgers that try to taste like meat and this one definitely doesn't. It sort of has the taste of seitan, with lentil, and a good amount of seasoning.

If you know me, you know about my obsession with burgers. If I could eat one food for the rest of my life, it'd definitely be a cheeseburger. My favorite are black and blues. Last week when I was craving one I decided to doll up one of the Amy's California Veggie Burgers that I had in my freezer. It definitely hit the spot. I think you'll enjoy it.

Black & Blue Veggie Burger

makes 1

1 Amy's Organic California Burger

1 hamburger bun

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne

1 tbsp crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce

1 tsp olive oil

Place the frozen veggie burger on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave. In a small bowl mix together oregano, paprika, and cayenne. Sprinkle this mixture on both sides of the veggie burger. 

Place a olive oil in a saute pan and bring heat to medium. Add veggie burger and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until it starts to crisp. Turn off heat. Add Gorgonzola to top of the burger, cover with a lid and let it sit covered for an additional minute. Add to bun with your favorite toppings and a dash or three of your favorite hot sauce. 

The Giveaway

The nice people at Amy's have offered to give one lucky reader two Free Product Coupons and two Free Soup, Bean or Chili Coupons. (Retail value = $30). I recommend the refried beans and veggie burgers, but seriously, I haven't had anything by them that I don't like.
