Like The Mud Cakes You Made As A Kid, Only Edible

I never made mud cakes when I was a kid. I'm jealous if you did.

It's easy to nuke a box of frozen veggie burgers and think that you're consuming a healthy meat substitute. Scan the ingredients with your luxury time and you'll find some unwanted guests (nitrates, preservatives, artificial colors). That's why it all tastes so good and looks somewhat similar to meat.

But once you try veggie patties that are made in-house (either in a restaurant or in your own kitch), it's hard to go back to your plastic-wrapped junk food burgers. I don't mind if my burger is made of real veg, lentils, or rice, and doesn't have char marks. I'm nature's bitch.



This mix couldn't be simpler. You boil water, stir the contents, and then you form your patties and fry 'em up. It makes six and it's soooooooo much cheaper than that Boca stuff you're messin' with. Some fake here and there is fine, as long as you don't find yourself spending one minute making dinner every night. Unless, of course, you're like me and now have Nature's Burger leftovers to freeze for future quick meals.
