    Are you looking for something that centers vegetables, beans, or grains? Or are you looking for something "meaty"?

    Are you wanting to make one yourself or purchase one?

    I'm kind of a veggie burger maniac, but I want to make sure I'm recommending the type of thing you are looking for.

    I am looking for something I can buy at the grocery store to start. Eventually graduating to making my own. I have a tough time getting my veggies in. I tried the one from Subway and could take it or leave it. At my old job they had one that was great from the cafeteria but I have no idea of the brand and it's too far to travel to.

    Morningstar chipotle black bean burgers!

    My grocery store has a falafel mix I like to make burgers out of too if you are like me and absolutely adore chick peas!

    We used to buy Backyard Grillers that tasted like a real burger. But we can't find them here in Phoenix anymore.

    Linda Mccartney's! I fed the "pulled pork" one to a meat eater and he was amazed. They also do a mozzarella burger, plain old vegetarian burger and spinach and mushroom. They are all really good.

    I am a huge fan of the Morningstar Farms Grillers PRIME burgers. They are really tasty. Trader Joe's makes a Tomato Basil Pizza Veggie burger that tastes great.

    I also love the original gardenburger cooked up to be really crispy on the outside.

    I like the Morningstar Chik'n patties - they are really good. I make faux Chicken parm with them. Granted, not a burger - but I don't like most of the veggie burgers out there.

    I make my own black bean burgers on occasion...

    Black bean burgers are great. I use the recipe from Serious Eats (www.seriouseats.com).
  • Costco Black bean...but seeing the above, I may try those

    Beyond meat burger is the best "hamburger" substitute I have come across. Serve to my carnivorous friends and family and they enjoy them as well.

    I also have used them to make a vegan/soy free meatloaf that is pretty tasty.

    The Morningstar Black Bean burger is pretty good, sometimes I get them from Costco. I prefer to make a burger using a nice portobello mushroom cap :)

    Eventually make your own. They are easy to freeze! Do you have a food processor? Some are very high in sodium. Some have a long list of ingredients/additives I don't understand.

    Do you know if Trader Joe's has other kinds? Love that store.

    @76Crane76 They have a thai sweet chili one which is really good and a quinoa cowboy burger that I haven't tried. Oooh and the vegetable masala burger, I haven't bought that one in a while but it's fantastic if you like indian flavors.

    I dislike most store bought burgers. I always make my own using a can of dark red kidney beans and just over half a can of sweet kernel corn. You can make about 6 patties with that and it only costs like... $2? I just smash them all up together and fry up some delicious burgers. Topping it with sweet onions, green onions, romaine lettuce, and tomato if I'm feelin fancy. Lol.

    A few people mentioned Beyond Meat - I've heard the Beyond Burger is amazing, but I've only had their Beast Burger.

    I think the Beast Burger is the best veggie burger I've ever had in 20+ years of being veg! I can only imagine how good the Beyond Burger must be. :)

    Thank-you everyone, I have many many options here to keep me on track for my Monday night meal and hopefully will add additional meals.

    Where would I find Beyond Meat at the grocery store? With the regular hamburger? Couldn't find it but I did find Trader Joe's pizza burger. Fabulous!

    I have not yet seen it at a regular grocery store (I live in the Midwest), I get it at Whole Foods.
