The new generation of veggie burgers looks and tastes like ground beef. Our favorite is the Impossible Burger, which we found remarkably similar to the real thing in our tasting. Ounce for ounce, the Impossible Burger has the same amount of protein as ground beef. That said, it sheds less moisture and fat, and the company claims that a 12-ounce package can be substituted for every pound of real ground beef called for in a recipe. We tested the Impossible Burger in three common ground-beef applications, comparing an ounce-for-ounce swap along with a swap using a 3:4 ratio, and found that a single package wasn’t always enough. Read on for our recommendations for how best to substitute this product in recipes calling for ground beef.
