First... I followed the directions just as written, and waited the time for the oats to absorb the water. I thought that these patties were a little sticky. I cooked and ate them anyways, they are perfect! I am a person that hates even a little added salt and butter (taste like diner food)and I loved the floavors of this one. There are spices already added, but I tend to throw a little extra red pepper flakes. The second time I made them, I added some oats (not the instant). These patties turned out wonderful.
i have tried many different burger substitutes over the years and this the best i've tried. when re-hydrating i use better than bouillon not beef for flavor. i saute minced garlic in hot filippo berio olive oil and actually blackened the garlic before searing the patty which adds a slight char flavor to mimic char broiled burger. most of the other substitutes require refrigeration this being a dry product stores well and would be great for camping.
I mainly use these VeganBurgers as taco fillings and they taste good once you've seasoned them well. I also like the fact that they are soy-free, which is why I sought out this product to replace another meatless brand that contained soy. I have tried other flavors, such as Viva Italiano and the Veggie Six Mix, and taste-wise I can honestly say that I could not really tell the difference in them.
These taste great and are very easy to make. They are a bit mushy but I don't think that is a bad thing. A lot of the reviews complain about "bland" taste. If you are used to eating other veggie burgers and thing these taste bland, you probably just need to experiment with adding a little salt. For example, Morningstar farms burgers have more than 3x the sodium that these have. This is actually a good thing as it lets you manage your own sodium intake.
When I opened the bag, there was a strong pepper scent. I was a little nervous what the burgers would taste like. Making the patties was easy. When it was time to try them, they were delicious! I will definitely be buying this item again!
Actually not bad; messed it up the first time by not using hot water but when I added boiling water to make it they turned out pretty nice for gluten-free. Try it with some nutritional yeast and red pepper flakes.

I've also made some awesome veggie burgers and sandwiches with this product, too!
Super easy to make and definitely better than any frozen veggie burgers out there. For that I give it 5 stars. I cooked the burgers in a nonstick skillet without oil, no problem at all. But the flavor is kinda oat-floury and bland, so I added some diced fresh jalapeño. For less mushiness, I found it better to bake on parchMent paper in the oven, rather than the skillet method.
Let me start off by saying, I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. I bought these to eat instead of ordering delivery or eating out. This is my first bag of Vegan Burger Mix. Overall, I really liked them. I would recommend making sure to eat these with buns, vegetables and condiments like mustard, ketchup etc.. The taste isn't bag but there isn't enough "punch". I ended up pouring on some Worcestershire and it added some "punch" to the mix. Word to the wise, this is a little sticky when making the patties. Which is a good thing that they stick together but sticks to everything! Also, I would recommend pan frying in olive oil on medium heat.
I also am not a vegan. Just as my mother told me, as I get older meat bothers me. I added the boiling water. Having read that there isn't much taste, I added two slices of bread (I don't have to have gluten free either and love my Monk's bread) Then I sprinkled with Soy Sauce. I made ten "burgers" froze them over night. I can only eat one at once per meal. (every four days) So I zapped in the microwave 90 sec in a cereal bowl. Then turned onto a slice of cheese which was on another slice of bread and zapped a bit more. What I like best is the crunchy vegetables. Full meal, very satisfying.
