    wow. eating it now straight out of the oven and tastes great. didn't have mushroom so used about a half cup diced red pepper. i dont really see how this would form into patties either though? tasty nonetheless, split into 3 portions (one being eaten) the other two to go in the fridge. - 2/15/09

    Tastes great! But, I couldn't get them to stay into patties on the frying pan. Any suggestions? - 3/20/08

    Very dry and doesn't want to hold together. I've added eggstarts for that. Not my favorite vegetarian burger though. - 8/2/10

    Didn't have carrots so maybe that's why these tasted so rice and lentil heavy. They were pretty good, had them like suggested and they shaped into burgers just fine, maybe don't overcook the rice and lentils, time them and it works. It made almost a dz big burgers. I've frozen the rest. - 5/11/10

    Tried this today with my own twist. I did not have lentils, so I used a can of red kidney beans. I also added some seasonings that I like. I had to add an egg and 1/2 c bread crumbs to get them to stay tog. - 1/19/10
