Enjolinfam's Note:

Would be vegan except for the honey. Anxious to see how these turn out as I love vegetarian sausages, but prefer eating things I've made from scratch. From "The Best of Silver Hills Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine" cookbook.

I'm sorry to say I didn't care for these much at all. They LOOKED like perfect little sausages. But they tasted like bread or stuffing rolls to me. I kept trying them for a couple days thinking my opinion might change but no such luck. On the upside they certainly are cheap and easy to make. But I won't make them again.

These are very good. I used coarse oats rather than quick but otherwise followed the recipe. Baking them makes the sausages nice and crispy on the outside. DD wasn't home to try them but I'm sure she'll like them, too. Made for ZWT6 Family Picks.

Ditto, I was also surprised at how good these were. The texture was chewy (sometimes patties can be mushy but these weren't) and the taste was good. I thought they were a tad on the salty side but that's how 'sausage' is supposed to be. I added a little crushed red pepper flake to mine because I like a little heat in my sausage. I left the mixture in the fridge overnight and shaped them into patties the next day. Will definitely make again and plan on freezing some next time. Thanks for the great recipe!
