All this talk about beef being recalled and red meat being linked to breast cancer is making me crazy. Don't have a cow - reach for a veggie burger instead.
I love that so many companies make them now, but my favorite is made by Gardenburger. When you take a bite, you can actually see the whole grain brown rice, rolled oats, and veggies. All that good stuff makes them hearty, flavorful, and delicious when grilled.
They make exciting flavors like Portabella and Black Bean Chipotle. Some of their burgers are even vegan (made without dairy products) like the Veggie Medley.
I like the Sun-dried Tomato Basil best. It's made with whole grains, basil, red and green bell peppers, onions, garlic, and mozzarella cheese. One patty contains 100 calories, 3g of fat, 5mg of cholesterol, 15g of carbs, 5g of fiber, and 5g of protein. Delicious and healthy. Who could ask for more? I'd say this is a perfect entrée for a Meatless Monday.

This is kind of a rant...
Let me just say that I am totally for meatless mondays, Americans eat way too much protein every day.
Here is my problems with things like this though: What is wrong with eating vegetables in their natural form? Why does it have to be pressed into a burger shape? I don't understand why people are so fixated on meat, like a meal isn't complete without a piece of meat (or breadcrumbs and vegetables that are shaped like it).
ahhhh!!!!! much better okay...sorry. This is one of the things that bothers me. "I'm not going to eat meat, but I'm going to eat something that looks and tastes like it" ugh
1I'm glad so many stores carry vegetarian products now.
Personally, MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean burgers are my favorite.
2Mmm...I love me some Gardenburger. Don't get me wrong, I love me some regular all beef patties (nix on the special sauce please) too, but when I want a healthier alternative this sure does the trick.
3I do enjoy a Gardenburger now and then, but I also agree with cams...there's nothing wrong with just a nice plate of veggies or veggie soup for dinner.
4i am not a burger person at all, but gardenburgers are definitely growing on me.
5I love Gardenburger! I just had a Black Bean Chipotle tonight. The Sun-dried Tomato Basil is also awesome, though.
6I don't eat burgers at all.
7I remember a link to a food blog a few moons ago posted by yumsugar and they suggested a burger with the buns replaced by two patties of garden burgers. I tried this with carrots, pineapple and avocado and it was incredibly satiating!
8Cams - I'm SOOO glad you said that. I used to feel the same way, but these are a healthier alternative for people who still want to enjoy the whole BBQ scene, but are trying tot do their body good.
They also taste nothing like a real hamburger, so they're kind of in a realm of their own. Think of them as a veggie sandwich. You can also bake a piece of tofu and put that on the bun instead, but these are just so easy and tasty.
9rocketgirl - I've never tried MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean burgers. I'll add them too my list. Are they extra spicy?
10Fit - They are a bit spicy! I have them for dinner frequently, along with the Morningstar Farms Tomato Basil Pizza burger (I think that's what it's called). That one's not as good as the spicy black bean burger, though... You must try it!!
11I'd like to try these, but The Man would NEVER eat them, so I'd be eating on my lonesome!
12i love me some garden burgers but i must say i prefer morning star burgers to garden burgers.
13i don't know what it is, but i like them better.
i even like how at some restaurants, like Chili's, you can get a black bean burger instead of a meat one.
Yeah, Chili's black bean burger is awesome.
14We have BBQ all the time!!But never Burgers, it seems like My C
15Children, and My Guest would rather have Steaks, Pork Chops, and Chicken!!The Burger does look Good!!
I've never tried Gardenburger, but I do agree with the above comments - The Spicy Black Bean burger from Morningstar Farms is really good. I also like the Garden Veggie Patties.
16Boca burgers are my fave (love their flame grilled, vegan and roasted onion flavors).
I do like the Gardenburger Portabella and Black Bean Chiptole flavors. I've been meaning to try their flave grilled kind too.
17My favourite brand of veggie burgers are Sol, they're fantastic cooked in a bit of olive oil or on the BBQ.
18I'll try your spicy bean burgers if you'll try my sun-dried tomato and basil...
19unfortunately we do not get all these healthy options here!
thankfully im okay with grilled veggies!
20I NEED TO TRY THESE...
THANKS FOR THE RECCOMENDATIONS...
CHOW.......
21I live on veggie burgers! Other than the Gardenburger Portobella or Garden Veggie burgers, my faves are the Gardenburger Chik'N Grill (only 100 cal and great on salads) or the Boca Spicy Chikn Patties (though they are 2x the calories of the other). They're so versatile, I probably make them 2-4 times a week.
