This Vegan Juicy Lucy Is Worth the Food Coma

It’s officially grilling season, and nothing says summer quite like a vegan Juicy Lucy.

This vegan recipe truly proves that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of sinking their teeth into this summer-approved dish, a Juicy Lucy is a Minnesota-style burger that has a molten core of melted cheese. And we couldn’t resist veganizing it! Toasty bun, griddled onions, oozy, cheesy plant-based burger… BRB, we’re moving to Minneapolis!

This vegan version features a mouthwatering patty made with plant-based burger meat. Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger both make excellent options. And for non-dairy cheese, the options endless. Opt for dairy-free cheddar slices from brands like Miyoko’s Creamery, Violife, or Daiya.

Top this vegan Juicy Lucy with your favorite toppings: pickles, grilled onions, and even extra cheese. And serve with a side of potato chips or crispy, crinkle-cut fries for a meal you’ll be dreaming about long after your last bite.
