Awesomely Delicious Home Made Impossible Burger!

January 25, 2021 by Grace Leave a Comment

Impossible Burger

I’ve been revisiting a trip to Oklahoma that Steve, Toby, and I took in 2019. En route and on the road to OK, we had our first Impossible Burger…at Burger King!

The Impossible Whopper!

I was SO VERY DUBIOUS when I ordered the Impossible Whopper…I didn’t think I would like it at all. But I’m so happy to say that I WAS SO VERY WRONG! It was delicious, AND it tasted like a beef burger. How can this be??

Impossible Whopper

Burger King wanted to offer their Whopper “Impossible” style, using the Impossible Burger, which is made from plants. They normally cook their Impossible Whopper on the same broiler that they use to make their regular Whoppers. However, if you request that they prepare it without using their broiler, they will accommodate!

Impossible Whopper Info Card
Impossible Whopper

The Impossible Whopper includes the same ingredients as the Whopper, except the Impossible Meat Patty subs for beef. In my opinion, it tasted almost like a Whopper! I don’t know if I would have been able to tell the difference if I had to do a blind taste test!! 🙂

Home Made Impossible Burger

I desperately wanted to recreate this burger at home. You can now buy the Impossible Burger at grocery stores. They sell it both shaped into burger patties, and also a block of it, as you would buy ground beef.

12 oz package – I made 2 LARGE burgers from this, but you can certainly make 3!
Impossible Burger back of the package
Holy moly look at the Nutrition Facts!

I bought a 12 oz pack the other day, and shaped it into 2 burgers (they were pretty big). The only thing I added was some salt and pepper. One note…when working with it with your hands, the texture feels so different to ground beef…feels grainy. It was very interesting to work with!

My Impossible Burger that I made at home was placed inside a butter toasted hamburger bun, and garnished with iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, and thickly sliced red onion. The dressing was wasabi mayo. 🙂

Impossible Burger
Quite the mouthful!

It was DELICIOUS! One day, I will research more about how the Impossible Burger was engineered and came to fruition…I’m sure it’s an amazing story. Until then, we’ll just enjoy it for what it is. Truly IMPOSSIBLY AMAZING.

Toby likes it too!

Have you tried the Impossible Burger? If not, I urge you to give it a go!

You can buy the Impossible Burger in grocery stores. Amazon also sells the preformed patties and you can purchase that here.

Toasting hamburger buns 2 mins
Total Time 15 mins
Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Servings 2 people

Equipment

  • Skillet (cast iron if possible)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 hamburger buns
  • spreadable butter to spread on hamburger buns to toast them
  • 1 12 oz Impossible Burger Made From Plants
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Suggested Garnishes and Condiments

  • few pieces iceberg lettuce
  • few slices onion I used red onion
  • few slices tomato
  • mayo for a kick add some wasabi it's SUPERB!
  • sliced cheese add your favorite sliced cheese if you like!

Instructions
 

  • Heat up your skillet on medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on the burger buns, and lightly toast the bottom of each bun. Remove and set aside.
  • Place the Impossible Burger "meat" in a large bowl. Add a little salt and pepper to taste and gently mix to combine. Form into 2x 6 oz patties.
  • Turn up the heat to medium high, and add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook each side around 4 minutes or so until browned. You may need to adjust the time to suit your circumstances. The package on the Impossible Burger states that the burger is cooked with the interior reaches 160F. Remove once cooked and drain on paper towels.

  • Assemble your Impossible Masterpiece! Slather mayo (or wasabi mayo) on the cut sides of the toasted buns. Add lettuce to the bottom bun, top with the patty, cheese (if using) tomato, onion, and top bun. Open mouth WIDE and enjoy!
    Impossible Burger

Notes

The Impossible “meat” really tastes like beef!  It’s super fun to make the Impossible Burger at home, and feel free to change up the garnishes and condiments to your liking.  
You can make smaller burgers (shape into 3 or 4 patties if you like) but just remember you’ll need to reduce cooking time on each side of the burger with smaller ones.
Enjoy this super delicious burger whenever you fancy a plant based burger!

Portobello Mushroom Sandwich

Taos, New Mexico, has some amaaaazing restaurants. We had the privilege to have lunch at one of these (Doc Martin’s) on a recent trip.

Turkey Sandwich With Grilled Zucchini

Sometimes there is nothing better than a great sandwich.

I love sandwiches because they are so satisfying, budget friendly, and easy to prepare.

This healthy turkey sandwich is so colorful. In addition to the zucchini it includes red onion, tomatoes, and havarti cheese, but you can also substitute swiss. The dressing is a mixture of mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and fresh garlic, which gives it a kick.

Alaskan Salmon, Cream Cheese, and Capers Bagel

I loove salty foods. When given the choice between sweet and salty, I’ll take salty any day. Maybe that is one reason why I adore capers.

Capers come from the capparis spinosa plant. They are the flower buds of this plant, (also known as caper bush or Flinders rose), which is native to the Mediterranean.

Pastrami and Swiss on Rye With Pickles

Can you imagine at the age of 19 being mistaken for someone else? Then can you imagine finding out that that person is your twin? How about if a third individual came to light? And then amazingly you found out that you were a triplet, and not a twin? It sounds incredible, but this story is true!

This story is told in an amazing documentary called “Three Identical Strangers.” I won’t go into details because I don’t want to spoil the film for those who haven’t seen it. We watched this film on our recent Sunday movie night, and the setting of the film is New York.

Alaskan Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese and Capers Bagel

I dream of visiting all of the National Parks in the US. Did you know that Alaska is home to 8 National Parks?  I’ll be thrilled if I can just get to one of them!

Alaska is home to unparalleled beauty and I hope everyone can visit someday.  And the food?  It’s my understanding that Alaska has some of the most delicious food out there!

Alaskan Salmon and Cream Cheese Bagel

I chose a recipe to honor Alaska that is not quite a dish Alaska is known for. This recipe for a Salmon and Cream Cheese Bagel includes wild Alaskan salmon. Wild Alaskan salmon is very well known for its amazing taste and health benefits.

Alaskan Salmon, Cream Cheese, and Capers Bagel

The delicate flavor of Alaskan salmon is wonderful, smoked or not. It is considered a Superfood, and it contains omega 3 fatty acids.  So, I definitely think it’s a great idea to eat more salmon! Check out this article, “What is Wild Alaskan Salmon Good For?” to find out more about how nutritious and healthy wild salmon is for you.

Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon, Lemon, and Dill

The sandwich also includes lots of yummy cream cheese, fresh dill, sliced red onions and capers! Each ingredient is full of flavor on its own. Combined they are an amazing flavor bomb!

In conclusion, please use wild Alaskan salmon in this sandwich. Wild Alaskan salmon tastes better and is also better for you. You will definitely love the amazing flavors in this Salmon and Cream Cheese Bagel. Enjoy a taste of Alaska!

Florida Cuban Sandwich

This page may contain affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no cost to you when you make a purchase using my link. This post is about the AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS Florida Cuban Sandwich!

Cubano Sandwich

I visited Miami over 20 years ago and can’t believe it has been that long! The need to go back is starting to get stronger. 🙂 I remember being thrilled at the Cuban accents I heard for the first time. Additionally the unmistakable Cuban influence on the food was everywhere and was an exciting new foodie experience for me.

Unfortunately I did not try the Cuban Sandwich (also called the Cubano) while I was there. The Cubano is a must when visiting Florida so I truly missed out! Therefore I wanted to try my hand at making one of these delicious sandwiches and bring a taste of Miami to my Texas kitchen.
