No one will ever notice that you swapped in mushrooms for a third of the beef in these better-for-you mini burgers. Grated onion and a touch of soy add to their savoriness. Make a big batch of these pint-sized patties and freeze them—you’ll be so glad you did. Serve them as finger food with a dipping sauce, turn them into sliders, or make it a meal with rice and steamed or roasted vegetables.

Cooks' Note

Alternatively, you can cook the patties on the stovetop. Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet. Cook patties in batches, adding more oil as needed, until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 2–3 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. You can also swap turkey for the beef for a lighter patty.

This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
A pinch of sugar in the spice rub ensures picture-perfect grill marks with layers of flavor.
