I have been a bit absent from the blogging world for the past couple of days. I won’t go into too much detail, but my brother was in a pretty serious car accident a few days ago so I have been focusing the majority of my time and energy on my family. He is doing much better now, but it will be a long road to recovery. All prayers for him during this time are sincerely appreciated!
Now enough with the sad talk, let’s get to a bit happier topic: food! 😉
With it being Memorial Day Weekend, and all, I figured that I would hook you up with a vegetarian “grilling food” option! I don’t know about you, but when I think of Memorial Day, I definitely think about spending time with friends and family, having a few drinks, and cooking out on the grill. For many of you, that may mean making cheeseburgers. For me, I think I will stick with this amazingly delicious sandwich:
“Cheeseburger” Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Servings: Makes 1 sandwich
Ingredients
1 veggie burger (homemade or frozen)
1 TB Vegenaise vegan mayo or regular mayo
1 tsp sriracha sauce
olive oil cooking spray
2 pieces whole wheat bread
1 to 2 TB coconut oil (you could use margarine instead)
spinach or lettuce
white or red onion slices
bread and butter pickles
1 tomato slice
1 slice of part-skim or vegan cheddar cheese
Directions
1. Prepare veggie burger or cook pre-made veggie burger according to package directions.
2. Combine mayo and sriracha sauce. Stir well. Set aside.
3. Spray a small skillet or griddle with olive oil cooking spray. Heat over medium heat.
4. Spread coconut oil on one side of each slice of bread. Place the coconut oil side of one slice of the bread onto the griddle. Top this slice of bread with the sriracha mayo.
5. Pile spinach or lettuce, onion slices, and pickles on top of the sriracha mayo.
6. Stack the veggie burger, tomato slice, and cheese slice onto the vegetables.
7. Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, with the coconut oil side facing up.
8. Cook the sandwich on medium-low heat for approximately 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
9. Slice your “Cheeseburger” Grilled Cheese Sandwich on a diagonal.
Serve up your tasty grillin’ sandwich with your favorite cookout sides, and/or your favorite vegetables. I enjoyed mine with a side of roasted fresh green beans.
I definitely recommend using homemade veggie burgers for this sandwich, but sometimes (like in my case) you are feeling lazy and a frozen pre-made veggie burger does the job just fine!
Seriously, does this sandwich not look absolutely delicious? Looks are definitely not deceiving in this situation. It tasted amazing. I was actually a bit sad once my plate was empty :(. Does that ever happen to you? So take my advice and make this sandwich on the next warm Summer day, or this weekend at your Memorial Day gathering. I promise, you will not be sorry! Who needs the meat, anyways? 😉

Thank you! Yes, you don’t need buns when you can turn it into a grilled cheese sandwich!
Yum that looks delicious! Yes I find that with a lot of things I eat that I don’t want to finish it because it is so tasty but I eat it quicker normally because it is so good – it is a vicious cycle 🙂 hehe
It truly is a vicious cycle!! 🙁

Love the idea of a lil burger on regular sandwich bread!
It was SUPER tasty!
I will definitely keep your brother in my prayers! Wish him a speedy recovery for me.
That sandwich looks super yummy! There’s nothing like a good “cheeseburger” 🙂 I actually think I might prefer veggie-burgers to regular burgers! I wasn’t the biggest fan of burgers even before I became vegetarian – I think they weren’t flavorful enough for me. I much prefer the well seasoned, veggie version 🙂
Honestly, I must say that I agree. Veggie burgers are just so darn good! 🙂
How have I never thought about this before?!?! Holy crap. This is brilliant!
Haha, thank you! 😉
Many prayers going out to you and your family….take care and enjoy this time with your family. xxo
Thank you very much for your thoughts!
So, all that I can say really is that this is a seriously brilliant idea 🙂
Aww, thank you! I hope you like it!
Sorry to hear about your brother! I’ll keep him in my thoughts. This grilled cheese looks AMAZING. Totally something I’d love!
Thank you to both!
So sorry to hear about your brother, but sending prayers your way!! This sandwich looks so good..and yes I almost always get sad when my meal is finished..I always want more!
Thank you for the prayers!
Mouth watering! Love grilled cheese sandwiches and I’m all about sriracha! Definitely delicious looking ‘wich!
Thank you! There is just something about a grilled cheese sandwich, right? And sriracha is a must!
This looks ridiculously delicous!! I am soooo trying this 🙂
Thanks! Please let me know what you think!
Wow. This looks so good… I love ‘cheeseburgers’ so the option of making a healthy vegan one sounds simply divine! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
P.S I’m glad all is ok with your brother xx
Thank you!! I hope you like it :).
This looks delicious! What kind of veggie burgers do you buy? I want to try them but I want to get a brand doesn’t have a bunch of chemicals and such!
This time I used Morningstar farms, but those definitely aren’t the healthiest. I would try Dr. Praeger’s.
Sending lots of good wishes and prayers to your brother – that’s so scary. These look delicious by the way : )
Thank you!!
Wishing your brother a successful and speedy recovery. Consider a prayer said for you and your family. Sandwich looks yummy! I love cooking with coconut oil.
Thank you for the prayers!
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers Hannah, thinking of you! xoxo
Thank you so much!
