Am I a Closet Vegetarian?
I’m starting to ask that question, because over the last month I’ve found myself craving Morningstar Farms Chipotle BlackBean Burgers. In fact, over the last month I think we’ve gone through three packages as a family (that’s NINE POUNDS of veggie burgers . . . yikes).
In the past I’ve occasionally ventured into the realm of veggie burgers, primarily out of curiosity as to why some of my extended family members would ever forego the staple meaty burger that is as American as apple pie. For instance, I distinctly remember trying Boca Burgers when they came out, and I distinctly remember thinking I would never compromise a meal again with that kind of vegetarian cardboard. So when Brianne brought home the Morningstar Farm Burgers from Costco a few months ago, I was skeptical to say the least. But, to my surprise, these bad boys had ample flavor and substance.
In doing a little digging, this is a Kellogg product being sold under the Morningstar Farms brand. I’ll admit – I was surprised to find it was a Kellogg product. They’ve done a good job of giving it a non-Kellogg look with branding and packaging that has a more natural and down-home style.
Two thumbs up from me on this product. For you meat-eaters out there, trust me, I was a skeptic too, these Chipotle Black Bean Burgers are the real deal. Load ‘em up with salsa, guacamole, avocado and cheese to accent the southwest flavor. While these burgers won’t convert me into full-time vegetarian, they will definitely remain a favorite in our household until someone can top them.
