Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 c Water
1/2 c Salt-reduced soy sauce or
-tamari
1/2 c Nutritional yeast
1 lg Onion diced
1/2 tb Garlic powder
1 tb Each Oregano and Basil,
-dried
1 t Liquid smoke (optional)
-Mushrooms, fresh or canned
-(optional) 1/4 c to 1 c
4 1/2 c Old fashioned rolled oats

Bring all ingredients except the oats to a boil. Turn
heat to low and stir in 4.5 cups rolled oats. Cook
for about 5 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Don't overcook. If it is too soupy, add some oats at
about 5 minutes and cook for only a few more minutes
until thickened. Fill a rectangular non-stick baking
pan with the mixture (makes square patties, easier
than forming little circles). The pan could be
anywhere from 9 x 18 inches (22.5 X 45 cm.), 12 inches
(30 cm.) square or larger to make patties about a
half-inch (1.3 cm.) thick. If too thin they'll be
tough and will dry out. Total cooking time is 45
minutes. Bake at 350 F. for 25 minutes. Then use a
utensil that won't scratch your pan to cut the giant
burger into 3.5" to 4" (10 cm.) square burgers and
flip them over. Cook another 20 minutes. Serve in buns
or as a main course, hot or cold. Can be frozen.
