I’m always looking for more vegetarian options to incorporate into our meal rotation, and homemade veggie burgers are an easy option. I love that I can make a bunch in advance and freeze them for an easy weeknight meal. Plus, these are inexpensive to make and I typically have all the ingredients on-hand.
