Well, one of my most recent bzzcampaigns was for morningstar farms veggie burgers. Morningstar also has veggie dogs,ground beef style crumbles,sausage, and more. With the campaign I received a coupon for a free Morningstar item and several $1 off coupons. When I went to Meijer to get my free veggie burgers, I noticed that all of Morningstar Farms' products were 3 for $10. So, I decided to use my free coupon and 2 of the $1 off coupons to buy 2 different kinds of veggie burgers as well as a bag of crumbles. I was really excited to find out that each patty is only 3 WW points!
The first thing we tried was the spicy black bean veggie burger. I actually got my husband to eat these! I was amazed! So here is my recipe for the spicy black bean burger.
1 spicy black bean patty
1 100 calorie slimwich bun
lite ranch dressing
salsa
shredded lettuce
fat free shredded cheddar cheese
sliced jalapenos
mix ranch dressing and salsa spread on both sides of bun heat patty for 1 minute in microwave pile with lettuce,cheese, and jalapenos
This was so delicious! My husband said that it would have been the best burger he ever had if it had been beef. Which I suppose is a compliment considering he absolutely LOVES beef! I thoroughly enjoyed the veggie burger and am looking forward to trying new recipes with this flavor.
Then we tried the ground beef style crumbles. I decided to use them in my spaghetti sauce. They were great! I am not going to lie and say that they had the same flavor as beef, because obviously they wouldn't because they aren't beef. I will say that they added protein and flavor to my sauce, and I enjoyed it. Here is the sauce that I made with them:
1 jar Hunts spaghetti sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes
red,yellow,green peppers - chopped
onion - chopped
garlic stuffed green olives - diced
Extra virgin olive oil
garlic powder
parmesan cheese
1 bag of Morningstar Farms Ground Beef style crumbles
saute peppers and onions in olive oil with garlic powder and olives when vegetables are soft,add tomatoes and spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese and crumbles then heat through
Then I tried the Tomato and Basil Pizza Burger. It was really delicious! This one I just made for myself after church on Wednesday. It was something quick and delicious! Here is my recipe:
1 Morningstar Tomato and Basil Pizza Burger patty
1 100 calorie slimwich bun
red, green, and yellow peppers - chopped
1/4 c spaghetti sauce
chopped onion
Extra virgin olive oil
fat free shredded mozzarella cheese
microwave patty for 1 minute then top with spaghetti sauce mixed with sauted peppers and onions and then add cheese. DELISH!! I can't wait to try more things with these delicious veggie burgers.
I have more $1 off coupons if anyone wants to join me for meatless Mondays. I have taken the pledge, not because I am against eating meat, because I LOVE meat! I have decided to pledge because I am trying to lose weight and stay healthy. Cutting out meat for one day out of the week is going to help me meet my WW goal! It helps that these are so delicious that I don't mind eating them instead of an actual beef burger. So, if you are interested in a coupon, I might even be willing to mail one to those who live away from here. That is how sure I am that you will thoroughly enjoy these burgers! :)
