Both partners cook these together

  • 2 brioche buns
  • 4 romaine lettuce leaves

Vegan Path

Black Bean Patty

  • 15 oz can black beans, drained
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp vegan mayo

Omnivore Path

Beef Patty

  • ¾ lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 2 cheddar cheese slices
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Cook Together

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut potato into fries, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.

  2. 2

    Prepare burger toppings: wash and dry lettuce, slice tomato, and set out pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 3

    Toast brioche buns cut-side down in a skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Vegan Path

  1. 1

    Mash black beans in a bowl, leaving some chunks. Mix in breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into 2 patties.

  2. 2

    Pan-fry black bean patties in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until a crispy crust forms.

  3. 3

    Assemble burgers with vegan mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and black bean patty. Serve with oven fries.

Omnivore Path

  1. 1

    Season ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into 2 patties slightly larger than the buns (they shrink when cooked).

  2. 2

    Grill or pan-sear patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Top with cheddar in the last minute and cover to melt.

  3. 3

    Assemble burgers with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and beef patty. Serve with oven fries.
