Regardless of preparation, I found the flavor very appealing-almost like aged meat-and could be fooled into thinking it was a beef burger if someone handed it to me fresh off the grill. Beyond Meat, however, suggests cooking their burger exactly as you would a traditional beef burger: searing on a hot grill or pan until crisp on the outside and juicy and pink within. To keep things fair, we cooked all of the burgers the same way: baking them in a 375✯ oven for 6 to 18 minutes, depending on thickness and whether the burger came from the refrigerator or freezer. Some of that in-fighting may have been due to the way we prepared these burgers. A few of our editors rated it the most vile, while others rated it with the highest score possible. Truthfully, this burger was the most divisive of the bunch. Anya said that she would eat it again on its own as a mid-day snack or with lightly-dressed greens for a quick weeknight dinner, Kat suggested crumbling or cutting it up prior to crisping in a pan, and then layering in a pita sandwich. Also made from largely real-food–sounding ingredients, it had a bean patty–like interior, a crispy crust, and-as the name suggests-a Southwestern-inspired flavor. We all liked this selection from Trader Joe's, but most of us said we would probably never eat it on a bun since the texture is a little too soft to provide much contrast. I found the texture to be reminiscent of pre-cooked frozen sausage-which is not a bad thing if you're planning to pile it high with tomatoes, pickles, and ketchup on a burger bun.īUY IT: Whole Foods 365 Meatless Burgers, available at Whole Foods Trader Joe’s Quinoa Cowboy Veggie Burgers With Black Beans and Roasted Corn Senior Editor Anya Hoffman thought this patty looked the best of the bunch and Kat enjoyed its slightly spicy, not overpoweringly smoky flavor.
