The Best Veggie Burger
These veggie burgers are hearty, savory, and rich in meaty flavor, thanks to cremini mushrooms, rice, black beans, and walnuts. Your family may think you made them with real meat! The texture is a little softer than a beef patty, but a wonderful contrast to the beautiful, pan-fried crust that really stands up to the bun and toppings.
