Veggie Burgers

  • I'd like to try veggie burgers for dinner this weekend. There are so many different brands. I remembers seeing Boca, Morningstar, and several others. Can anyone tell me which you have tried and which you like? Thanks in advance!
  • It depends on what you like-boca and morningstar have versions that are designed to be similar to real burgers. Gardenburgers don't really try to do that-although maybe they have flavors I don't know about. I prefer the the ones that are like real burgers-especiallyt the boca ones. I find that frying them up in a pan coated in Pam is the best way to cook them rather than nuking them-though that is an option.
  • I've been on a Gardenburger original kick. It has a blend of grains, veggies and a little cheese. I think I like the texture on these the best.

    I also like the Morningstar Farms grilled veggie burgers.

    After those two I like the Boca Burger grilled veggie burgers and the vegan burgers. If it's your first shot out, I wouldn't try the vegan ones unless you are used to veggie products. The other ones I mentioned don't try to be meat and have a flavor all their own.

    I like to have my veggie burgers on a 4" pita. You can split the pita in half and have two rounds to sandwich it. You won't miss the bun.

    It's funny, DH and I actually prefer using pita's instead of hamburger buns now for our veggie and turkey burgers. It lets you taste the burger, not the bread.
  • My fav is the Morningstar Grillers, but they are tiny and I only get one on my plan - Cassi gets two cause she's smarter than me (actually, cause she's on purple and has a smart corporate center!). Morningstar Grills have their own unique taste, so if you are looking for a big, fat, burger like substitute, you may be disappointed.
  • Thanks for the replies, ladies! I went ahead and bought the Boca burgers because they were on sale and I had a coupon. I bought pitas to go with them. Thanks for that tip! I'll let you know what I think!

    Cassi........you crack me up!!!
  • check me out.....did a quote, and a little laughing dude!!!!!!!!!
  • Nicole - you're such a techie!
  • Love love love Morningstar grillers! So tasty and not chicken!!

    Does anybody (Cassi??) know how the Morningstar Breakfast sandwiches break down on LAWL? I just ate one--its ok, but definitely not the Egg McMuffin that I love so much.
  • Martha - I don't really know, but a guess is 2S,1P,1/2D. Not worth it to me. I would rather have the sausage patties in a 4"pita or tortilla with some cheese and it would be 1S,1/2P,1/2D.
