We made this. It was good.

I got this recipe from the Yahoo Food page. We try to go meatless once or twice a week, so this sounded like a good bet to satisfy our junk food cravings the veggie way. It turned out to be quite delicious. We used four of the regular size (non-Costco size) Boca burgers which we cooked before adding to the sauce, and we substituted a yellow sweet pepper for the green since I can't digest the green. It added a wonderful sweetness. I usually make my own barbecue sauce, but in this case we used the Masterpiece Original bottled sauce and we did use the (optional) soy sauce. Definitely a keeper in this household.

We froze the rest but haven't tried it out yet so I don't know if this freezes well. I can't imagine it wouldn't, but you never know...

this looks really good, except when I got to the part that said "serve on buns" I thought it said "severe burns"

Oh no! Severe burns not required.
