My goal at THEE BURGER DUDE is to show vegans and non-vegans alike how easy it is to make delicious and decadent vegan meals. I used to eat a lot of meat and dairy before going vegan, so this channel is aimed at people like myself before going vegan. Additionally, I totally welcome any vegans who might be missing one of their favorite fast food or comfort food meals as well, come on in! I want to show that you can still have burgers, mac n' cheese, fried chick’n and any other kind of comfort food, and that it’s possible with plant-based ingredients.
If you’re new to veganism and don’t know where to start, or if you’re totally new to cooking, or new to both, then I hope you find something on this site that piques your interest and are inspired to cook! And if you have any questions please contact me!

Just wanted to say that I've been making this roast "beef" seitan now for about a month and it's absolutely wonderful! This and another 86eats seitan--roast "turkey"-- are the ones we eat and both are the best we've ever had, and I've made a lot of seitan over the years. This is definitely a keeper. 😊

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome, that makes my day!! I need to make some more recipes in this style!

[@siinrajiaal]

That's great to hear. I hope to try this out this weekend. Lol

[@victoriarose4506]

@@siinrajiaal it favors corned beef. I wish I knew how to make one that might resemble "normal" beef but it's so good that I don't want to risk making one and screwing it up. Seitan is a labor of love and when I mess one up, I have to sit and shed a little tear lol. I have been tempted to make like a pepper crust to roll the seitan in. I think it would add to the flavor

[@siinrajiaal]

Short google reveals that corner beef is brined. I'd say the presence of vinegars could be tweaked. I don't really know though

I am going to become a good vegan cook for sure. After seeing what you guys can do. [sauce stache] and you and the other vegan cooks on youtube. I thought I could find some good products but what you guys are doing is on a different planet. ITS INSPIRING. KEEP IT UP.

[@ak0e]

I figured out how to make the lightlife vegan bacon/ blt delicious: I use vegetable margarine, sezchuan peppercorns(in a grinder) liquid smoke, worcestire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper to taste - The key is the cast iron skillet (i think?) I cook it till charred on the edges and brittle. lettuce, tomato, veg-mayo and mustard on slightly toasted bread. Is delicious!

[@n0z1ck51]

Looks great! I've always had trouble with the roux + cheese strategy, so I'm excited to try this new sauce method. Will be trying this soon!

[@stephensano9156]

I am so impressed with the content provided on this channel. Your recipes look amazing and you give Vegan cuisine a legitimate place for regular meat eaters and a place to marvel at ingenuity for Vegan innovation. I am so interested in trying these recipes! I have eaten frozen chicken made from Seitan and loved it so much I wanted more. I love black bean vegetarian burgers as well. I am seeing the benefits and excitement with plant based cuisine from each Vegan channel! There seems to be a boundless future for creations of plant based food!

[@OldWorldNobility]

I just started my plant based journey, and I love Arby's, so I definitely have to give this a try!

[@bigjohnrabbit1393]

Thanks for this recipe. I made everything including the sauces. It was all extremely tasty. Huge amount of food. Cut up about a third of the loaf into chunks and froze to use in stir fry. Great recipes!!

I remember Arby's and it didn't look half as good as that! I have to say, I LOVE your videos!! You make that seitan look so good! I've made seitan and a couple of times and it can be so time consuming but rewarding. Your recipe looks pretty darn good! I am going to give that a try! Thank you! 👍😊💖

For "Who gives a care" you have a new subscriber, love it! Cheers

[@victoriarose4506]

Before I quit eating animals, Arby's was one of my favorite places to eat. I grew up on the beef n cheddar.... Can still remember what it tastes like and drool over it a little bit! Can't wait to try your seitan recipe. I use 86eats for our main deli turk'y and it's great! I saw that you used the Daiya farmhouse block-- it was our favorite plant cheez, but they stopped selling it. Here anyways 🙁

[@g.s.651]

Use Follow Your Heart shredded cheddar and heat the unsweetened coconut (or Cashew) milk up first, then put about half of your cheese in, keep stirring til it's about half melted, cuz it won't bond properly until there's enough in there but adding it all at once makes it ball up together instead--then add the other half, and keep stirring until all of it is melted and gooey, and you're good.

[@garya3056]

Holy kwap that looks good. I don’t remember going to Arby’s much either - not sure why. I do think Ving Rhames may be coming over to your place in the next day or so to belt out a resounding “we’ve got no meats!” 👍

[@milkteanomnom]

Your comments gets a like from me, just because you said kwap 😂

[@shanezveganess5969]

That's how i make my mac n cheese, I use a block of vegan cheese with plant milk and a touch nooch. Those burgers look delish!😋

[@lindaobrien2659]

I'm going to try this with cornbeef flavors. I use chicken and beef flavored "bouillon" from my Asian store. They're vegan. Sauce Stache uses them. The beef flavor one has spices that you'd find in brats and cornbeef such as all spice. Kinda like the picking spices you'd boil the corn beef in. I made brats with it, and they were meat eater approved. Now that I think about it you could substitute the Beef better than bouillon with the Asian beef flavor one and make it with yuba no need to slice. I just binge watched a bunch of your recipes and subscribed. I like the fact you use easy to source ingredients.

[@angelieoberoi8331]

You invested in a deli meat slicer.. For your home! Wow l! That's what I call commitment to your cooking craft. I need to follow your recipes more. The Arby's seitan recipe you provided tastes amazing! Btw, before saying all that, I have been wanting to make homemade deli slices for awhile now it seemed absolutely daunting to me and wanted to watch the videos butt not bea part of cooking it. If that makes any sense. I had all the ingredients at home and also kept watching videos about how to cook it at home and Sarah's vegan kitchen came so so close to yours!

I like to use beets to add red color to my seitan. nice video

Your Seitan looks really good and simple again(after making McRib a few times).I’ve been wanting to do some more VWG recipes after a lot of WTF so will try this soon, thanks! Also: a tip for if you can’t get that firm of tofu, freezing&defrost the firmest you can get and squeezing out the water has worked for me in other Seitan roasts.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome!!

[@cookieheka5431]

Instead of red yeast rice powder you can use chaga mushroom powder. It gives a nice color, is nearly tasteless, and boosts the immune system.

[@jonprc]

Looks awesome. A mandolin could help if you don't have a deli slicer too, or at least that's what I'm going to try when I give this a shot

[@iChefTheImpossible]

Mandolin you need to put pressure and the blade is stationary. Works great for firm or harder veggies. The deli slicer the blade is moving and well, slicing it. One is like pushing down with your knife, the other is like slicing back and forth.

[@nt4991]

@jonprc did the mandolin idea work?

[@jonprc]

@@nt4991 YUP! I've used it a lot since then. Mostly on Lauren Toyota's seitan for cheesesteaks and french dips. I'll slice it up, lay it flat in bags and freeze it then it's my go to whenever I need it.

[@nt4991]

@@jonprc Awesome! I'm totally making sandwiches this week then. Thank you!!

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Suggestion; Use Butcher's Netting after wrapping with a cheesecloth before wrapping in foil, for a roast worked well enough to cut the string off after. These deli slicers are so worth every penny.

[@atosayshey]

I like this idea. I don't really care for the taste of seitan either and the sodium makes me feel weird. Definitely gonna try

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="218">3:38</a> That creamed horseradish probably has milk in it. At least in the German grocery stores, you'll usually only find 3-4 brands with milk powder, and one premium brand with the V-Label that costs 4 times as much. Alternatively, you can just DIY: Throw horseradish root in the mixer along with some vinegar and salt.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

it's not creamed, if you pause at 3:40 you can see the ingredients. I can't speak for Germany, but in the US prepared horseradish is typically vegan.
