A super fun recipe to try this year with your family for the Fourth of July is veggie burgers. They are very easy to make and are filling, delicious, and healthy. If you are used to having hamburgers, you might be hesitant to try a veggie burger, but give it a chance. It might become your new favorite dish for cookouts.

There are many brands of veggie burgers, but I recommend Boca and MorningStar Farms. Both of these brands have never disappointed my family, and I’m sure they will be instant classics with yours. The way you make a veggie burger depends on whether you are going to microwave, bake, or grill it. Most packages will give you directions; however, rest in knowing that they will take twenty minutes at most.

This is great for a holiday such as the Fourth of July. In addition to your veggie burger patty, you will also need hamburger buns, lettuce, cheese, and other vegetables and sauces. My mom specifically liked onions on her veggie burger, so maybe this will be a great addition to your own burger. Be creative and allow your children to build their veggie burgers with various toppings.
