Cooking Instructions
Treat your Very Good meat the right way. Learn how to cook it the Bean Butcher approved way for ultimate plant-based deliciousness.
While all our products are pre-cooked and can be consumed directly out of the package, we recommend heating these ones up for best results.
Burgers
Thaw the burgers!
Grilling: Grill for 4-6 minutes turning occasionally. For best results use a basting liquid. We like to use 50% BBQ Sauce, 30% rootbeer, 20% oil, salt and pepper. Baste the patties each time that they are turned to ensure that they stay moist and delicious. Ensure burgers are piping hot before serving.
Oven: Set oven to 375F brush with oil, salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes turning halfway through the cooking time. You can marinate the burgers beforehand with your favourite marinade for a different flavour each time.
Stovetop: Brush both sides of the patties with your favourite marinade. We like to use 50% BBQ Sauce, 30% rootbeer, 20% oil, salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 mins turning halfway through the cooking time to baste. Ensure burgers are piping hot before serving.
