This is one of my favorite veggie burger recipes. They came out delicious. The recipe filled up two cookie sheets perfectly, and I just refrigerated the rest for lunch tomorrow. As forewarned, they are a little difficult to mix in the blender; next time, I'll use the food processor. I cooked them extra long, because I was afraid they'd be mushy in the middle, but the ingredients in the recipe came together nicely and gave these a lovely, firm, texture. Next time, I won't cook them as long; and I am sure they will be nice and moist. Rave reviews from everyone. Thanks!

Good taste very large quantity by the time it is done. We are newbees in the vegetarian arena so making this according to instructions was a bit of an adventure as it assumes that you know how to prepare TVP. I bought bulk so there were no instructions on the back. The meal was still a success and rather easy to prepare, at least, will be, the next time.
