Veggieburgers are better than hamburgers (bbq, spaghetti, tomatoes, italian) - Vegetarian and Vegan Food - City-Data Forum

Blasphemy but I can eat them everyday. Morning Star or Boca are the best so far. I love the Black bean and pizza ones from Morning Star. Throw a bit of bbq sauce with raw spinach, vegan mayo, onions and pickles on thin round buns.

Anyone have a great recipe to make from scratch and grill? I'd like to make some for friends and family to try.

PS, I tried some veggie hot dogs and I nearly barfed but my dogs tore them up. Anyone know a good brand of these?

I can't stand store-made veggie burgers anymore. I've had more bad veggie burgers than I've had bad hamburgers, that's for sure.

I make my own black bean burgers; the recipe is posted in the recipes forum if you want to make a search.

Will do, thanks

Have you tried Smart Dogs? They are my favorites. I really like Morningstar Grillers Prime veggie burgers to cook on the grill.

Quorn veggie products are excellent too.

I second Smart Dogs and Morning Star farms are also good. On the grill they are all good.

Sausage is a lot like hot dogs and I love Tofukey brand Beer Brats, Polish Sausage and Italian Sausage.

I tried Gimme Lean sausage that is in a tube. And when it's either raw or cooked it's mushy much like canned dog food. It was gross and made my spaghetti gross. Most fake hamburger meat is like this unfortunately though that I've had. But the patties are much better though. But I've learned how to make an omelet and man I can't get enough of them. I throw pretty much any kind of veggie in it with a tablespoon of syrup.

If it wasn't for Morning Star it would be a very bleak outcome.

I don't think I would say they are better than hamburgers or turkey burgers, but they are interesting and good soemtimes. I am not a vegetarian as most know, but we do like to go meat free once or twice a week..Well once more likely than twice. We have eaten Morning Star veggie burgers for years. As for the hot dogs, I can't imagine veggie dogs.....

Try a double double with a blackbean veggie on top of a hamburger. Good stuff.

I just had a Gardein burger last night, and it was really good. That's coming from someone who eats meat.

I made a crockpot lentil stew- lentils, onions, carrots, tomatoes, garlic- that we served over black rice for a couple of nights.

Today I threw the left-over lentil stew & black rice together, added wheat germ & whole wheat flour until it made a stiff mix. Formed them into patties & fried them crisp in olive oil. Delicious homemade lentil burgers on whole grain buns for lunch!
