Loma Linda - Plant-Based - Vege Burger (15 oz.) (Pack of 6)

Many people in my family are vegetarian, not vegan, and these were our "veggie" burgers when I was a kid. As a single person, I love to be able to make these easily and keep them for sandwiches for the week. They are easy to make, provide protein, and didn't used to be as expensive as meat. That seems to have changed a bit...but I still love them. And am so thankful that they are available all these years later. Looking through the comments, I haven't seen any recipes...well, I thought I'd give you one. Now this does use eggs so it may not fit into your lifestyle. Also, this is my mom's recipe, so the measurements or not terribly precise...use your heart. We've made them far more healthy, but here's the basic...all the way back to at least the 1970s...recipe. Grandma Shari's Veggie Burge Ingredients 1 can of Loma Linda Vege Burger 4-5 eggs depending on the size of the egg 1/2 packet of dried onion soup A couple of squirts of Worcestershire Sauce How To... Put the contents of the can of Vege Burger in a medium-sized bowl (one of those silver ones if you are being authentic) ... break it all up so there aren't any big lumps. Put everything else in there...mix it up. About the eggs, this is going to make a sloppy mixture...but it still should be MOSTLY Vegeburger, so a little more if it's not sloppy enough, a little less if you are losing the vege-burger in the eggs. Put about 2 tablespoons of oil on a pre-heated medium-sized pan,. Drop mixture by large soup spoon size onto pan. Cook 2-4 minutes per side. Move the finished "burger" to a cookie sheet, top with cheddar cheese, (or whatever kind) and put in 250-degree (F) oven while you finish the other "burgers." Then make a sandwich. There are all kinds of ways we've made these...great with tomatoes and those crunchy little cucumbers...but the 8-year-old in me likes a little mayo, ketchup, mustard, and relish. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did and does.

I LOVE this! It's already cooked! No fat! Just add to whatever you are making, such as chili or spaghetti sauce or meatloaf or lasagna. EASY PEASY!! Taste GREAT. My ex-meat-eating husband loves it and ask's for it! FIVE STARS!

Very expensive, hard to find product. Glad it's offered!!

This stuff is so good! I use it in chili, ziti, tacos, etc. and it is the perfect ground beef replacement. I've lived this vegan life for a little over a year now and I've tried a LOT of meat substitutes and I've found that most that do not come frozen have a super funky smell. If it smells gross I won't even bother cooking it; why waste the other ingredients ya know? Vege Burger doesn't have an overpowering aroma and once you add your own seasonings that plant-y taste is very muted. Ok so you do have to get past the fact that it looks a little (ok more than a little) like dog food in a can but just dump it in a bowl and separate with a fork (I use a potato masher) and you're golden!

I usually order these for my grandmother to cook. She loves the company Loma Linda. Since she's found out that they have this brand on Amazon, she's constantly wanting me to order more items instead of driving 45 minutes to the nearest store who carries it.

I use it like ground beef. My family loves it.

Cans are small

For years I was purchasing the bagged ground vegan beef. it took up room in the freezer and would always fall out upon opening the freezer door. These are wonderful!! I've been purchasing Loma Linda products for 5 years now and they are staples in our home .. The ground beef looks like dog food when you open it. It seasons nicely, cooks perfectly and tastes great. My unvegan child approved on this when I used as taco meat and he never approves anything vegan!! :0) Only complaint is that they shrunk the size down and not the price.
