Reviews
burger is good , the potatoes a little to salty and spicy for me. need to find "Salt-free" creole seasoning. Will make again.
Was the quinoa supposed to be boiled? Because you don’t say in your recipe. I assumed it should’ve been but didn’t because I tried sticking to exactly what the recipe says. Either way, these did not hold together and the quinoa was unpleasant.
I like broccoli-cheese soup so thought I'd give these a try. Was pleasantly surprised, especially that the beans were hardly noticeable as I'm not a huge fan of beans. I melted more cheese on top. I will make them again to use up the second half of the can of beans I didn't need when I made this recipe the first time. You won't miss the meat, even if you're not a vegetarian (
