Mushroom Pepper Burgers
Mounds of fresh vegetables are simmered in vegetable broth before they are stacked in sandwich-thin-buns along with cheese slices and Morningstar Farms® Garden Veggie Patties™. This recipe is inspired by a recipe created by Mary Bilyeu to cheer on her favorite baseball team.
