How to gussy up some Boca burgers?
Wednesday is burger night but I don't feel like going to the store to buy fresh meat and I want to eat veggie a bit more often anyways. So I want to use the Boca burgers that I have in the freezer. But they need something more than a normal burger does...maybe an aioli? Maybe some bacon? I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions to make them less boring.

I'm a big fan of using english muffins instead of normal hamburger buns too! They have a nice texture and easy to keep on hand in the freezer for a quick burger of any type.
Some brands of veggie burgers are heavy on cumin--so to me they taste almost falafel like--then I use a tazaki sauce (shreaded cucumber, yogurt, garlic).
If you're going veg, I'd steer clear of the bacon.
I'd top with a bruschett and some goat cheese.
Or you could do a Tex-Mex style and top them with a corn, black bean and onion salad with a little cilantro and avocado slices. And maybe top with a chipotle sour cream.
You could also add the condiments used in the Flankenstein sandwich - greek dressing, feta, kalamatas, cucumber, lettuce, and tomato for a "taverna" sandwich.
I'd also think about caramelized onions, bacon, and bleu as an option.
