Gluten Free quinoa burgers
Gluten free Quinoa Burgers
Don’t let the name fool you. Everyone can enjoy these tasty veggie burgers. I came up with these the other night. They were soooo good, plus they passed both my daughters’ taste test as well. I prepared them the night before and placed them in a glass casserole dish. They held together very well. Make sure not to fuss with them again until after they’re cooked as they can crumble before they’re done. However, after they’re cooked, they’re good to go.
