this was a really good and easy recipe. i honestly would never have thought of trying this and it is weird but it tastes pretty good. i took the suggestion to bake it fro 10 minutes instead of frying it which worked great, i have no idea how you would have fried it, lol. i didn't have any wheat germ but i threw in some bread crumbs to try and get it to stick together a little more. i also added a few italian herbs. i also took the suggestion of using the 25% less sodium cream of mushroom soup and i'm really glad i did. i decided to try it as a sandwich so i threw on a slice of provolone and tomato and put it on a toasted english muffin. it was really tasty! i'm eating the leftovers now for lunch sans tomato and english muffin and it's still good. i'll definitely make this one again.

these came out o.k. I think next time I make them I will omit the cream of mushroom soup and add some italian spices instead.

I really liked this recipe. I was a little short (about 1/2 cup) on oatmeal, so I substituted an equal amount wheat germ in addition to the 3 tablespoons and it was very good. I did not fry- I baked them in a 9x13 sprayed w/ non-stick spray for 15 minutes first, then baked them for 25 with the cream of mushroom. I forgot to cover it but it was still fine. I also used non-fat cottage cheese and 25% less sodium cream of mushroom and would have used lower sodium soup mix if I could have found it. It was not too salty, but I could see how it could be. I sliced tomato on top of the patties after drizzling extra soup on top and used some pepper- that's it. Very good. My bf who is not a fan of cottage cheese or mushroom loved it. Try this one.

These were ok, but my husband and I are spoiled because both of our mothers have recipes we like better. Also, frying these was a really big pain.

i do not fry mine, i do add a splash or 2 of worcestershire sauce to the patty mix and a dash of sage. you can use cream of celery instead of mushroom, and i like to add 1/2 cup of sour cream to that. yum!

I followed the suggestion to bake these instead of frying and had no problem with them sticking. I'm only giving this recipe 3 stars because I thought they were too salty. Between the dry onion soup mix and the cream of mushroom soup, it was really too much salt for my tastbuds.

Great recipe! I, too, had trouble with them sticking to my pan.

I really liked this recipe, the patties are delish! I did dredge them in bread crumbs before I fried them, and it just requires a little care to keep them from falling apart and sticking. Well worth any extra effort because they are very good.

More oats and a good hot pan may solve the fall apart issues. I have been looking for a good cottage cheese pattie recipe. These do taste great, even if they stick.

I liked this Recipe but when I was frying them they stick really bad!!! But over all they taste really good!!!

This recipe was fantastic! I have a few suggestions though: If you want to fry the patties and you don't want them to fall apart in the process, add shredded cheese and dip the unfried patty in bread crumbs before frying. They turn out FANTASTIC!

this was pretty good. not amazingly great but good. my kids all ate them without complaint. i baked them as another member suggested and they hald their shape well. i questioned not diluting the soup and next time will definately add about 1/2 can of milk to it to make it more like gravy and less like thick goop on top! next time i think i will add green onions on top after baking.

These were okay. The combination of flavors wasn't bad, but didn't come together either. I didn't taste any thyme at all. What I did like about this is that it seems to be a great base for making a meat substitute - it'd be hard to tell it wasn't meat if you didn't know.

The paaties were very good. I topped them with alil mushroom gravy ( mushroom soup, onions, red pepper flakes, parsley and a dash of soy sauce)

Very tasty! Love this recipe!

The taste of this was good, but I did have a few problems with it. As other reviewers noted, my patties fell apart when cooking them in the frying pan and stuck horribly to it. In the future I would do as the first reviewer suggested and put them in the pan and bake them before adding the soup sauce. Even in crumbles and no clear shape, it still tasted good though!

My boyfriend loved this. I liked it okay, too. I don't like mushrom soup and probably could have bought better brand which might have helped. It is a neat recipe, yummy and somewhat like meatloaf. We tried to pan fry the patties but it simply didn't work - we may have had the ratio of cottage cheese to oats wrong. Overall this was easy and satisfying. I added salt at the table. Thanks!!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I was looking for a way to use up left over cottage cheese from a cesar salad dip I make with it. I will enter that salad dressing at a later date. I would suggest adding basil, or green onions or chives to sprinkle on these when they are served.

I just wanted to say you don't have to fry these. I make them into patties and put directly into lightly greased 9x13 and bake about 10 min then add the soup cover and bake the 20 minutes.
