ramartin42's Note:

My friend Stacey significantly modified a recipe she found on allrecipes.com. It's a vegan recipe, and even though I am a happy carnivore, I would eat these veggie burgers over a beef burger any day!

These were so delicious! My husband and I truly enjoyed these burgers. The texture is so similar to meat, and they were very simple to make. It was also nice not to have to handle raw meat with my hands during prep. The salsa gives these burgers a nice kick, and the chili powder adds another dimension of flavor. We will make these again and again. Thanks!
