Benefits Of Using Frozen Vegetable Burgers

By Olivia Cross


While there are a number of meat substitutes, some are better than others. For some, creating these products at home can be both easy, efficient and cost saving. While for others, the thought of attempting to make any type of frozen food from scratch, especially frozen vegetable burgers is out of the question.

What many people fail to realize is that veggie burgers can be made a number of different ways. Take for example restaurants which offer mushroom swiss, bacon and cheese, and other similar styles. All can be made with a variety of different frozen patties. Some hold up to additives and toppings better than others. One of the best for this type of burger is that of the Boca Grillers.

Individuals with great cooking skills can also make these substitutes from lentils, black beans and vegetables. When using vegetables in a mix for patties, it is essential to use fresh rather than frozen as fresh vegetables tend to hold flavor better than can or frozen. Whether using only black beans for spicy black bean burgers, only vegetables or a combination, a number of different style patties can be created from scratch.

When creating patties, or other vegetarian entrees and sandwiches, spices can go along way in making these foods taste good. While frozen patties may still need additives, condiments and spice, it is essential to blend any dry spice into a homemade mix before shaping and freezing the burgers. Otherwise, any dry spices will only fall off when cooking, grillng, or microwaving the patty once it has been frozen.

There are also individuals who only eat these type foods on a part time basis. Whether due to dietary restrictions or monetary issues, this can often be a good way to assure one is getting the grains and vegetables necessary for a good diet. As many of these brands also offer crumble style veggie grains, sloppy joes, chili cheese dogs and other such foods can also be made with this type meat substitute.

People who love vegetarian food generally also love a good veggie dog. When it comes to veggie dogs, the most popular and best tasting are reported to be Smart Dogs and Tofu pups. While it is easy to blend black beans, lentils and other beans and vegetables into homemade garden patties, hot dogs are a bit more difficult.

For some meat eaters, the occasional veggie burger is a treat. While the very mention of a meat substitute is not appreciated by others. Those whom combine a varied diet whether meat centered, vegan or vegetarian are often going to reap the best health benefits from these and other foods.

Ultimately, it is best to try a number of different brands before deciding on a favorite. Also, while some patties hold up for additives and sauces, others do not. Deciding on which brand can often depend on what type of recipe in which these meat substitutions are to be used. When making recipes in which veggie patties can be cut up, then most any brand will work fine. Whereas, when adding toppings or other ingredient, generally the courser the patty, the better.
