Description
This is a veggie burger so substantial, it requires a two hand hold. I like to make a double batch of this recipe and keep some in the freezer for whenever a craving strikes... Which is often.
For optimal freezer storage, wrap each patty individually in plastic wrap and then place in a zip top bag.
