- 1 Burger Bun
- Mustard
- 3 lbs. Yellow or Brown Onions (diced)
- 2 Tbsp Vegan Butter
- 2 Tbsp Neutral Oil (Vegetable, Canola, etc.)

Directions
-
Grill the Onions:
Heat the vegan butter and neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions. Stir occasionally and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, which should take about 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and sugar over the onions while cooking to enhance the sweetness. -
Prepare the Special Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayo, ketchup, dill or sweet relish, vegan Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create your special sauce. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. -
Cook the Burgers:
In the same skillet, cook the plant-based burger patties according to the package instructions, adding a slice of vegan cheese on top shortly before you finish cooking them so that it melts beautifully. -
Assemble the Burger:
Spread mustard on the bottom half of your burger bun. Place a crispy lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato and the first burger patty with melted cheese. Top it with a generous amount of grilled onions and some dill pickle slices. Finish it off with the second burger patty, more grilled onions, and the top bun.
How to Serve Vegan Double Double Animal Style
Serve your Vegan Double Double Animal Style burgers hot and fresh from the skillet. Pair them with crispy fries, a side salad, or even some sweet potato wedges for a full meal. Feel free to add extra toppings based on your personal preferences, such as avocado, jalapeños, or additional sauces.
How to Store Vegan Double Double Animal Style
If you have leftovers (not likely because this burger is hard to resist!), store the components separately in airtight containers. The patties and grilled onions can be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat the patties in a skillet or microwave.
Tips to Make Vegan Double Double Animal Style

- Add Extra Flavor: Consider adding some spices to the burger patties while cooking or even incorporating some sautéed mushrooms for additional flavor.
