These were fine - not great - also very hard to keep together while cooking.

We enjoyed the flavor of these. They do, as other reviews said, tend to fall apart a bit if you're not careful - it's that darn tofu! Not making the patties too thick, using a very wide spatula to turn, and cooking till crisp on one side before turning all helps. I'll make again & try some variations - maybe black beans, sunflower seeds, sesame, etc..

I should have read the reviews before I made this. It definitely needs an egg or something to bind the mixture together. I used wheat bran instead of oat bran, and I added more of it to the mixture, which seemed to help. They were really falling apart on me. The fact that I absolutely couldn't get any water to squeeze out of the tofu didn't help matters. It all just squished between my fingers. I think the flavor is pretty good; I especially like the brown rice. I just wish the texture was better.

Many reviewers suggested adding egg and I concur. I also substituted A-1 sauce for the BBQ sauce with good results. Texture was appealing and leftovers warmed well as patties and crumbles in taco salad.

This was a wonderful recipe that I would make again except that next time I would add a bit more egg to get the patties to stick together better I did use 1 egg but it wasn't enough, they fall apart very easily. I also used Tariaki sauce instead of the bar-b que sauce because I couldn't find the bar-b que sauce and it gave the burgers a tangy taste.

Greetings everyone, I hope that you enjoy the recipe. Some recommendations to share, this was intended to be a vegan burger, but I recommend adding egg for those who are not strictly vegan. Also, when frying, after placing patty onto the pan, wait about a minute or two and then cover, so you can get the steam-fry effect, cripsy on the outside and moist (and cooked) on the inside. Thanks, again.

Great recipe. I love the variety. Next time I make it I'll add one egg so that they don't fall apart when flipped. I cooked them on the griddle because they were burning in the frying pan. I couldn't find oat bran at the store so I used wheat germ instead.

I don't know that I liked these. The flavor was a little bland so I added some cumin and some taco seasoning which helped quite a bit. I'm not sure about their texture either. When they were in the pan they were blackening quite a bit on the outside and still seemed pretty raw on the inside. I made about half into patties and browned the rest like you would ground meat, and plan to put it on some salad later tomorrow, but I don't think I'll be making these again.

This All-Star Veggie Burger gets 5-stars! I am pleasantly surprised at how flavorful it turned out to be. Used all the ingredients listed except for the dried sage which is replaced with thyme. We froze the remaining patties and it works well.

Great flavor, but I would suggest using extra firm tofu. Otherwise the paties tend to fall apart.

Love it, but made a few little changes a usual. :) I had only kidney beans on hand. I added one little can of red beets, including juice, for color and flavor, and mixed it in a blender along with the tofu. I didn't add cooked rice because of the ingreased moisture from the beets. I added a whole cup of uncooked bulgur wheat(didn't have oat bran) and a whole cup of oats. I added a lot of Tex Mex spice and put it in the fridge overnight. The consistency was great the next day to shape little meatballs. They browned nicely and tasted great. To finalize it, I added a jar of tomato sauce and served it with pasta. Next time I will make it with oat bran and the BBQ sauce, which I didn't have either. Hope this helps.
