As I noted in another thread, my younger daughter has taken the vegan route and for the most part I've followed along. I've been experimenting with the fake burger, trying to get the right texture along with the right taste. Impossible Burger looks more like ground beef than the other products, but the texture is too smooth. Beyond Beef has the right texture, but the taste is a bit off. Impossible Burger comes in 3/4 lb. packaging and I can only find it at Trader Joe's. Beyond Beef is packaged in pre-formed burgers and I find them at both Sam's Club and Costco. Both products are priced about the same as organic beef.
I've discovered that a thorough mixture of one package of Impossible Burger and two Beyond Beef burgers seasoned with some onion powder, granulated garlic, a splash of steak sauce, and 1/3 stick of margarine makes a mixture, that when fried, is very close in taste and texture to a genuine beef burger. I haven't tried to cook one on the outdoor gas grill.
