Instructions: 1) Veggie Beanie Burger: Put cheddar or American cheese and veggie patty on bun. Add a layer of refried beans (black or pinto, warmed), chopped onion, chunky salsa, and a small pile of Fritos (or other heavy corn chips).

Spread top bun with guacamole or mashed avocado if desired. Squish and eat immediately... its going to be messy but worth it!

2. Veggie Mushroom Burger: Swiss cheese, veggie patty, and a generous scoop of grilled or sauteed mushrooms-n-onions (saute fresh ones in olive oil). Spread top bun with mayo or sour cream if desired.

3. California Veggie Burger: Cheddar or Jack cheese, veggie patty, lettuce and/or alfalfa sprouts, tomato, and sliced avocado. Spread top bun with honey mustard and sprinkle generously with black pepper.

[] Spike (the self-proclaimed foodie-maven) thinks you could put these toppers onto beef patties and they would be excellent. []
