I was at Aldi's awhile back and picked up a package of two Beyond Burgers. I made a burger with one - thought it tasted similar to beef but I got the lingering aftertaste and it wasn't too appealing in my mouth. I sautéed the other burger with some onions, green pepper and my homemade marina. Poured it over whole grain pasta and it was delicious. I've also made tacos with the BB - seems like the added cumin, chili powder and cayenne helps soften the aftertaste. Beyond Burger has become an occasional treat in my diet.
