The Best Store Bought Veggie Burger

July 15th, 2010

A good veggie burger is essential for summer barbeques and quick meals.  But finding the best store bought veggie burger can be a challenge.  With so many on the market, its hard to know which to choose without trying each one.

In my 7 years as a vegetarian, I have narrowed my playing field down to Morningstar Farms.  But there are many varieties of Morningstar Burgers, you say!  This is true, but I can’t remember which one.  I do know it comes down to two competitors: Morningstar Farms Grillers Prime and Morningstar Farms Grillers Original.

I’ve never really paid attention to the difference between the two.  I usually purchase whatever I grab first in my grocer’s freezer.  But this weekend, I decided I would once and for all determine which is THE best.

So using the Mock Red Robin Whisky River BBQ Burger recipe, we had a taste test.  On Saturday, we used the Grillers Original burger.  It was good, but it tasted a bit too real, too greasy for me.  My husband loved it.

On Sunday, we used the Grillers Prime burger.  I loved it!  This was far and away my favorite.  It wasn’t the least bit greasy, and it was just enough like a real burger without making me queasy.  My husband liked it, but less so than the Grillers Original.
