    the way that i religiously watch all your videos regardless of being a carnivore. your vibe is just so peaceful and nice and i love it.
  • @LishaJain90
    Great variety of vegan burgers. You can try making Indian veggie burgers. They are originally vegan and delicious. The general one is a potato patty with veggies, aromatics and spices. You will absolutely fall in love with these!
  • @Glim246
    It's so strange to me to hear those statistics and yet I can still walk in to a ton of restaurants and have only a few boring options on the menu. Don't get me wrong...I've been a vegetarian longer than you've been alive Merle😁 and the changes in the culture have been drastic, but I'm still mindblown that so many businesses are not seeing the opportunity in serving such a huge customer base. Hopefully the trends will continue in the right direction though and the world will be a little better for it.

    I wish you and Aria had a vegan restaurant. I would eat these ALL day!! I will try your recipes, Merle!!!!! I am hungry ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!! Mmmmmmm.....
  • @vhcm14
    To make a drier burger you can roast the beans in the oven to dry them out before mashing them into the patty mixture, and oatmeal too works as Merle mentions.

    The 1st one is the very first vegan burger I' ve ever made or eaten. It is absolutely delicious and very satisfying! I didn't miss the ground beef and that's saying a LOT. I was just diagnosed with Alpha Gal allergy to beef, pork, & dairy. I cannot say thank you enough for this amazing recipe! It has given much hope & yummy enjoyment! I've shared these with friends who do eat meat but loved these very much too.

    Mmm! The lentil and portobello burgers get my vote to try first! I like to use vital wheat gluten as my binder and a little TVP for vegan burgers. It adds a nice chew.
  • @caitlin4663
    These are so great!! I've been vegan for 3 years and have never successfully made burger patties. These look easy and delicious! Thank you 😊
  • These all look delicious! I think I'm most excited about the sweet potato one.
  • @jamiemarieann
    Love your videos! Keep it up I look forward to them :)
  • So excited Merel recipes! Anything with mushrooms I am a fan of, but out of all of them I really want to try the sweet potato white been burger.
  • @kit3662
    Merle!!! I'm loving the content❤ Keep up the good work, beautiful being❤
  • @crazynugirl3
    These are great recipes. In my house, we can’t have a veggie burger without avocado or red onion on it. It’s so good!
  • @mak97fury
    I eat meat, but have been enjoying your channel so much for so long it really has made me try so many new recipes and vegan alternatives. Just for the fun of it, because you make it seem so exciting and fun! Thank you ❤
  • @Bossman-mu6qe
    I can attest for the portabella, red wine or balsamic are great. Added with some cooking sherry, msg, garlic and onion powder, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Let it marinate at least 24 hours but I prefer around 3-4 days. I recommend grilling it if possible.
  • @mariaVTCgirl
    I really have to make the portobello mushroom burger at the end. There was a restaurant in my area that has been closed for more than a decade now and they made a bomb portobello mushroom burger that is close to the recipe you showed us, so now I need to try it. Thanks for another great video!
  • @taniellie
    I like how you made different how-to versions of these. Im definitely going to try them.
  • @cruzpaez8047
    I've had the first & last one many times before. I do roast my bell peppers & garlic before using them in recipes. As a #PuertoRican 🇵🇷 I also many my own sofrito & use that too. People love, love them! Now, the two I haven't never tried is the Lentil Burger which I am so excited to try! The Sweet Potato & White Bean Burger looks promising! I am very happy using Cannellini brans in Nice Creams so using them in Bugers will blow my mind. Thank You for some solid vegan Burger Recipes. You have truly made my day. 🌈
