Veggie Burger Extraordinaire (a.k.a. My House Smells Incredible!)

She Said:

OK, folks, this just ain't right. There is no way that a "burger" made from lentils should make me swoon. But swoon, I did.

These things are fabulous! (Of course, it did not hurt that we grilled the whole wheat hamburger rolls in just a touch of butter before grilling the "burgers" in the same pan. One must do what one must do!)

We did not have the arugula or tomatoes on hand so these were served with just a good ol' fashioned grainy mustard (plenty of it, I might add) and they were just wonderful! Oh, and I didn't have smoked cheddar, so I used smoked gouda.

I heartily recommend!!!

(7 WW points per serving, including the roll - not bad at all!)

Alright, now I'm really miffed. See, I have been very happy my entire life with the "Veggie Burgers? Blech!! No Way!!" stance. I mean, seriously, those are disgusting, right? I would now like to change my answer to B) Wrong.

We had these lentil burgers a couple of nights ago and I am (still!) surprised to report back that they were really (read: really really) good. They, of course, did not taste like a hamburger (mmmmm...hamburger...drool..) but I don't believe that that's the point. They were tasty and crunchy and lentil-y and the toasted roll was pretty darn good too.

If you can get past the "Veggie Burgers? Are you kidding me?" phase, I totally recommend these. Delicious and healthy. Who'd a thunk it? Not me, that's for sure.
