Not sure if you read the comments. My husband did not receive his social security check last month. Still hasn’t received it six weeks later! I fired up KZbin to see what you fixed. We haven’t had any meat but we are eating well thanks to your videos! I made at least 20 of your recipes. Today we had pancakes and a can of fruit cocktail. Tonight we are having hamburger stew made with the ground turkey that you used. I’m adding more potatoes to stretch it to five meals. You are a lifesaver! I even made the flour tortillas this week!

OK, try this with the burgers. Pull out about 1/3 of the lentils and set aside. Puree the vegetables first. Add the eggs and about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of oatmeal (or breadcrumbs). Add the 2/3 of the lentils and pulse to combine. You don't want it smooth at all. Then stir in the reserved 1/3 lentils. The trick with lentil burgers is to have a mixture of textures. Like everyone said, they taste good but they were mushy. If you do this, you get a more burger-y feel.

I have an idea if you wanted to you could either go to a food pantry or find a video of somebody that went to a food pantry for a family of five and then go buy that stuff and see how many meals you can make out of it and how long it can last realistically as well. A lot of people get stuff from the food pantry and they don't know how to cook it or they don't know what it is and stuff like that.

Your eyes look beautiful today. When making the lentils, don't ground up to mush. Let it still be a little chunky. Then put into bowl and make like you would a regular hamburger by adding bread crumbs or oats to help to become a patty. I also make vegetarian chili with them. When you put beef bouillon, they become beef flavored when you add chicken bouillon they taste like chicken. Love you cousin Brooke ❤️ 🎉

For the "burgers" definitely add some bread crumbs, and fry them in THIN patties, the browned part is best. Might try food processing the veg then just pulsing the lentils in so it has a bit more texture. And maybe a little Worcestershire?

I theorize it is gut health and blood sugar stability. Try lentil sloppy joes! So dang good. Also, at the end of cooking the lentils-add a splash of vinegar in with the other seasonings. It really transforms the flavor.

Ground poultry, turkey or chicken, work great in well seasoned meals like chili, Mexican dishes, or spaghetti sauces. Even lentils hide nicely, and you don't have to pay outrageous money for beef. You won't miss the beef. Add some beef bouillon to mask the poultry flavor even more, like Brooke did in her recipes.

I get them really cheap at a restaurant wholesale store (lucky enough not to require to own a restaurant or need a membership) so hopefully they are really cheap too. I make them with onions, tomatoes, cheese, and cilantro and the rest of the usual toppings.

I get why Kylen likes these. He loves beans (if I remember right) and lentil are in my opinion close to beans. I add lentils, water, taco seasoning, diced onion and jalapeño to my rice cooker and cook them that way. If you need to cook the water out do a second time with the lid off. I use this mixture for tostadas. Cheaper than refried beans. We add the lentils, shredded lettuce, cheese and salsa. Sour cream is optional. So good and so cheap to make.
