Beyond Meat Cookout Classic Plant-Based Burger Patties, 8 pk, 32 oz

My go-to for grilling or pan frying burgers. Definitely close to the flavor of meat burgers but at the same time the perfect veggie burger. I cook slightly longer for a solid browned burger.

It is a good burger patty. I like that it’s thick, has a nice texture, doesn’t smell too much like meat (some Beyond products do), and make very satisfying burgers. When melted, a raw patty is difficult to handle because the texture becomes too soft, so I place it on an oiled pan while still frozen and it cooks with no problem. Because they’re so thick, I also turn them on the sides to get them cooked as well.

Flavor succulent, tender, melt-in-your-mouth, savory, and smoky

Forget beef being bad for you and the environment. Hands down, I prefer the taste of Beyond burgers over "real" beef burgers. Plus, I don't have to worry about E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter or parasites like Trichinella if I don't cook them to death.

I'll start by saying I bought these on a whim at a truly unbeatable price. I have a very large household and we're all meat-eaters, but I knew they'd get eaten. I have a hard time passing up a bargain. I didn't pre-thaw in the refrigerator as the packaging recommended; didn't see that until after I had fired up my stove and sprayed the pan with oil. I cooked them longer than the recommended cook time but used a thermometer and made sure they were at the recommended temperature. They started to stick at some point so I sprayed them with oil flipped them and sprayed them again. The time was still not bad. They were very easy to prepare and I did not notice any particular odor. I wouldn't say that they smelled like meat but they didn't smell bad. This is a thick, large patty. I personally would not eat these because there are too many calories and not enough protein for my particular diet but everyone in my household enjoyed them and the bite that I did try was pretty good. Much better than any soy patty I have tried in the past. But when something has this many calories and so much saturated fat, you can bet it will probably be pretty palatable.

It is absolutely amazing how these burgers look, smell, taste, feel, and cook up like actual meat. As a mostly heath-conscious eater, I researched information on all of the ingredients and I am confident that this is a healthy food, made from quality ingredients. So delicious and so high in clean protein. And to top it all off, it is NON-GMO.

You can do a lot with them. A great value for beyond burgers. I keep them in the freezer and make one in the air fryer with a little A1 and Worcestershire and sometimes coconut amino’s and a little avocado oil, some garlic and onion powder, 350° for 10 minutes. An excellent source of protein for your meal, tastes very good. Especially if you are not used to eating meat. And non-GMO unlike the other guys. Delivered frozen!

The best tasting vegetarian burger I have ever had
