Vegan Lentil Patties

We love being vegetarian, but if there is one thing we miss, it's a good burger. We have tried so many different veggie patties, but none of them have that flavor of a beef burger. This is the closest we have ever tasted. The thick meatiness of the lentils mixed with the strong flavor of the onions hits the spot perfectly. This is not only our favorite veggie burger, but one of our favorite burgers of all time. And to think we were able to achieve the flavor of a good beef burger while also keeping the patties vegan!
