Instructions

Heat up a small skillet, on med heat and add little oil, S&P and saute your onions for 5 minutes or so then set aside.
Add the bulgar to a soup bowl and add 1 cup boiling water, cover, and set aside for 30 minutes
Pre heat oven 350°
In your Food Processor, process your mushrooms. (You might have to process your mushrooms in two or three batches depending on the size of your food processor) , making them quite small, but not mushy ( see video),and add to a large mixing bowl. Then add the sautéed onions, seasonings and liquids.
Drain the bulgar well and add when ready( don’t worry it will be very chewy, thats good) Mix it all together.
Lastly add in the Vital Wheat Gluten, and stir until combined and then mix by hand for 2 – 4 min ( 2 is probably good😊) It is ready when you see strands forming in the burger mix.
Form 1/2 cup patties on a lightly oiled large (or parchment lined) non stick sheet tray. Spray tops of patties lightly with cooking spray, (optional).
Bake the patties for 25 min, flipping them halfway through
Remove the patties from the oven add cheese and broil couple of minutes, ( cheese is optional)
Grab a Burger, and a bun and build your Burgers.
Enjoy !!
