Don't think of this as tasting like hamburger. Just think of it as tasting good. We love this product - and this is really a very good price considering that it ships for free. One can is approximately the same quantity as 1 lb. of ground beef.

Some examples of what we do with this product:

hash:

saute small cubes of potato & chopped onions, add burger, break up lumps, & brown all together; add a couple of shakes of (optional) Angostura Worcestershire sauce [no anchovies in that brand], & serve with eggs for breakfast or veggies for dinner; even buttermilk ranch dressing is good on this.

stir fry:

brown burger & set aside, stir-fry onions, celery, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas, bean sprouts, mushrooms, radish slices, and/or water chestnuts (or whatever combination of veggies you like) as you would for any stir fry; add burger to reheat & serve with Ramen noodles or other pasta, on bread, or just as is, with soy sauce or Angustura Worcestershire sauce. Buttermilk ranch dressing is good here, too.

burgers:

to each can of burger, add 1 finely chopped onion, 1 rib of finely chopped celery, 1/4 C. chopped green pepper (optional), 2 eggs, 1/2 C. cracker crumbs, 1/2 C. oatmeal; form into patties & brown over moderate heat [onions & celery must be done & raw eggs thoroughly cooked]; when crispy on both sides & done inside (about 7 min. per side), serve on buns, rolls, bread, or plate with mayo, ketchup, onions, pickles, tomato, sprouts, or other burger fixin's.

casseroles:

1 can burger browned with onions & celery, 1 tsp. sage, 1 can mushroom soup, 1/2 soup can milk, 6-8 oz. noodles (cooked), 16 oz. shredded cheddar cheese, 8 oz. Jack cheese; reserve half of the cheddar, mix all other ingredients together & put in greased casserole, top with remaining cheddar, bake covered at 350 F. for 1 hour, remove cover & bake 15 minutes more

quick burger:

open both ends of the can, push contents out a bit, slice carefully, & brown in skillet until very crispy on both sides (turn carefully) for a quick sandwich filling. You can sprinkle on a bit of onion and/or garlic powder or other seasoning before turning the slices.

Bon appetite!

We use this Worthington Vegetarian Burger for so many different meals. We make tacos, meatloaf, meatballs, sloppy joe and many other things that call for ground beef. The price on Amazon is an AWESOME deal for 12 cans. I hope they will continue to stock this item because from now on we'll be buying it online instead of the health food store. We also enjoy the Worthington Chili very much and will be purchasing it from Amazon next time. These products are an excellent substitute for meat. Can't say enough about them!

We use this "meat" in veggie loaf, veggie tacos, and caseroles. It is very tasty and versitile.

This is a great product which goes well in a number of staple dishes (i.e. chili, pasta sauce) as well as making a great burger base. Would highly recommend it.

I felt like I was taking a big risk ordering 12 cans from Amazon having never tried it, and I crossed my fingers I would like it. Well, I don't just like it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it! This stuff is great. I try to sneak it into all my meals. Hamburger helper, spaghetti, stir-fry, regular hamburgers, stews, casseroles, lasagna, tacos, anything. I even make very messy sandwiches with it. It's AWESOME! Tastes fabulous. Sometimes I even eat it just by itself if I have leftovers. Even cold out of the fridge with nothing with it, it's good.

Best vegetarian product I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot of them). I will be buying a lot of their other variations (the chicken, turkey, hot dogs, etc). They even have fake scallops!

Thank you Amazon for carrying this wonderful brand!

I tried my first can this week and wish that I had tried it sooner. Half the can was used yesterday to make veggie tacos. Today, the rest was mixed with tomato sauce and italian herbs for some stuffed peppers. It worked well in both dishes.

Our family is crazy about this stuff. It's fantastic right out of the can, but it's also perfect for any recipe that calls for ground beef. I use this for chili, tacos, sloppy joes, lasagna, and if you add some greek seasoning, it's a perfect for gyros! This is also great for non-vegetarians looking for healthy and low fat alternatives to ground meat.

Worthington Vegetarian Burger, 20-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

I have been using this product for a year and a half. I use it in Lasagna, Mexican casseroles, and chili beans. My husband and Friends who are not Vegetarians love it! I would recommend it to fellow vegetarians and non-vege who want to cut down on meat and eat healthier. I no longer need to use cholesterol meds since I have been a vegetarian.

This is the best with taco seasoning in tacos and burritos and taco salads. We also used it for chili and sloppy joes. I like it because it tastes really good and it's low fat, but another huge benefit is that it is canned, so I can make it whenever I am in the mood to. I rarely eat meat, so it is frustrating for me when I buy meat to have to eat it quickly before it goes bad. I never have to worry with this :)
It also heats up really quickly. Even if you are not vegetarian, this is the ultimate convenience food. I love it.

I am not a vegetarian but I love this product. It flawlessly replaces ground beef, and in my opinion is superior. The texture is very nice - very like ground beef without the grissly texture that sometimes comes through in ground beef. We use it to make Sloppy Joe's and we all love it. Amazon's price is amazing compared to the specialty store we have been purching at (6.79 a can)! I highly recommend this product.
