Tonight's Dinner - Cheesey Veggie Burgers

[Guest guest]

These are definitely not for vegans. These were really good. The original

recipe was from the LA Times in 1990 from a restaurant in Hollywood, CA. I

changed the type of nuts in them and used low fat cheeses. Also put them on

homemade rolls. These were very good. I had this recipe for over a year and

never made them. I'm glad I finally did. I served them with fries and a

salad.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

 

If you cook these too long, the cheese starts to ooze out. Try to cook them

at a high heat quickly so that doesn't happen. It can be a pain to clean

otherwise.

Thanks for the burgers. Does anyone see a reason why any of these wonderful

burger recipes could not be put in a loaf pan and baked instead?
