Meatless Big S'Mack Burgers
"There [are] all these different plant-based burger products out there, and because my husband and I are meat eaters, I had never worked with them until this summer. It's something you should try, whether you're a meat-eater or a meat-freer. I'm telling you, I was pleasantly surprised. They're delicious and very addictive."
With American cheese and all the classic burger toppings plus Rach's own special sauce, meat lovers won't miss a thing!
"This special sauce is great on burgers, dogs and sandwiches or even an iceberg lettuce wedge salad," Rach says.
