90% of the time when I want a burger, I want a caramelized onions, blue cheese, and bbq sauce style burger. For that type of burger I like a husky veggie patty made with soy or seitan (wheat meat), like Gimme Lean brand.<\/p>\n

But for some reason, tonight I really wanted a more traditional American style burger: patty, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and thousand island dressing. I thought a veggie patty more like the Garden Burger would be better than a soy\/seitan type and tried out the Trader Joe’s Veggie Burgers (here is a blog about them<\/a>). I think these are new because they are definitely different than ones I have bought there in the past, but who knows, maybe I just haven’t seen them. \u00a0They worked perfectly!<\/p>\n

I kicked them up a notch by adding a little srirachi to the thousand island dressing and adding caramelized onions. Of course I still added raw onions :-). This is a simple throw it together recipe since most everything is already made. It makes 2 burgers.<\/p>\n

Srirachi Thousand Island<\/span>
