Introduction
THESE ARE SO YUMMY! This was my first experience to make (or eat) a veggie burger, and I can tell you it won't be my last! Even my carnivore (lol) father LOVES these and asks for them a lot. He calls them Krabby-Patties. THESE ARE SO YUMMY! This was my first experience to make (or eat) a veggie burger, and I can tell you it won't be my last!

Notes
You can eat these veggie burgers as you would a hamburger - on a bun or toast, topped with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, onion, pickles....
