Ingredients
Layer 1
- 1 bagStore-bought frozen home fries
- 1 recipe of day old Macaroni Salad (here's the recipe for my favourite macaroni salad)
Layer 2
- 1 Vegan Burger Patty, cut into 2 thin patties
- 2 slices of vegan cheese
Layer 3 - Meat Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cooking onion, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1½ lbs veggie ground
- 1¾ cups no-beef vegetable broth
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Layer 4
- ½ raw white onion, diced
- Yellow mustard
- Ketchup
Garnish
- 2 slices white bread
Instructions
To make the meat sauce:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat.
- Add onions and garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and translucent.
- Add veggie ground, and cook, stirring constantly until heated through.
- Add broth, tomatoes, chili powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and let simmer, cook 30 mins-1 hour, until liquid is slightly reduced and the mixture is very thick, stirring occasionally.
- Set aside.
Cook home fries and vegan burger patty according to package directions, melting a slice of vegan cheese over each of the burger patties at the end of their cook time.
To assemble:
- Layout the home fries and macaroni salad on either half of the plate, covering the surface of the plate.
- Place the burger patties side by side on top of the base.
- Top with a generous pour-over of the 'meat' sauce.
- Sprinkle diced white onions, and drizzle mustard and ketchup in opposite directions over the entire plate.
- Add white bread to the side of the plate, to soak up any excess liquid as you eat.
