This video is how to make a veggie burger from mostly food storage items  that tastes as close to a real hamburger as I can get it.  ( the few fresh vegetables in the video can be replaced by dried or frozen from food storage) My goal has been to have a recipe in case we ever have a shtf incident where I can actually make hamburger from my food storage instead of eating only rice and beans. I have been working on this recipe for several years and this is the best one yet. 

 If you are a vegetarian, several of the ingredients can be changed or omitted.. For instance, Orrington farms makes a  vegetarian powder you could try instead of the beef I used.

I added a secret ingredient I have never seen anyone add to a veggie burger, which is sardines.

I know you won't believe me until you try it your self, but I found  sardines add absolutely no fishy flavor or smell once done. I only add two. If you do not tell someone the fish was added they would never know. The fish add a hearty meat flavor that is missing without it.  

The Panini press  cooks on both sides without having to turn the burger and risk it falling apart.. I also invented a tuna can and a bolt to form the perfectly round patties.

 This recipe makes a great burger that tastes much better after it sits awhile, Think of it as meatloaf, which it tastes nearly identical to. I actually prefer to eat the burgers next day cold as a snack than rather than hot on a hamburger bun. 

 Give this a try and you will be very surprised at the flavor and texture. I have never had a better veggie burger or one that tasted more like real meat.
