I used a food processor which might have been a mistake, because they came out a bit mushy and soaked up a lot of oil when fried. My husband liked the flavor much more than I did, but (more importantly!) my 2-year old devoured them.

The burger's turned out really good but the cooking time is 6-8 mintues per side. That way they have a nice golden layer. A nice varation was adding pesto to them and not garlic powder but garlic.

I loved this! I did 'bread' the patties in cornmeal before frying and I used less oil.

I do not have much experience frying but I had to give this a try since I like beans so much and I am glad I did. The pattie stayed together perfectly and was not at all greasy! Used flax flakes instead of crackers and dipped them in a mixture of cornmeal and cayenne pepper for a little extra crunch and spice. Served with a salad for dinner and also in sandwiches the next day for lunch, great both ways!!

Good, the texture is mush, next time I'll add rice so it has some bite to it and I love the corn meal suggestion. And there is no reason to use that much oil. I added garlic....but I add garlic to everything this side of a hot fudge sundae....

Wow, this was amazing!!! I did change quite a bit of things though... I cannot have gluten, so I omitted the saltine crackers and used crushed GF cornflakes instead. Also, we didn't have any butter beans so I used an equivalent amount of cooked, mashed lentils instead. After trying it both ways (lentils vs. butter beans) everyone liked the lentils much better! I also added a little diced green pepper and that REALLY enhanced the flavor, and I omitted the jalapeno pepper (don't like spice). I make this recipe ALL THE TIME, and we never get tired of it!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried these last evening for dinner. My husband thoroughly enjoyed them. I did add more cracker crumbs/bread crumbs and used less oil for cooking. They browned up nice! Served with a stir-fry of zuchinni, yellow squash and onion. A great low carb meal. I will try other beans for variation in the future. Thanks for an easy, no fuss recipe that can be altered to taste!

Excellent !! I love this burger. I bought a black bean burger at Grand Central Station's Food Market before and found extremely dry (and expensive). This recipe is by far better. I wanted to make it more Mexican, so I added chopped cilantro(1.5 tablespoon) and a pinch of cumin powder. I also coated them with corn flour before grilling for a bit crisp result. It went very well with a mango salsa. I am sure I will make this again soon.

I do not get the 5 stars. These were very mushy. They did not hold together at all. I followed the recipe except for I did not use the jalapeno, and added some crushed red pepper instead. I also did not use all the oil required - if I did it would be extremely soggy, 2 tablespoons is enough for frying them. I dropped them by the spoon in the pan. They tasted ok. I am still looking for the perfect veggie burger recipe though.

My husband and I loved this recipe!!! It is a definite keeper. I made some changes though. I used chipote power instead of peppers and mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar. I also tried this recipe with cream cheese, but it wasn’t as good. I fried it in olive oil too.

I do not usually like legumes. (I couldn't find butter beans, so I substituted with part navy beans and part kidney beans). This however was fantastic. They did come out a bit messy, sort of a big blob, but they tasted so good, not a single person in the family cared. Served them up plain and they disappeared.

These were better than I thought they would be. I made them for my parents, who loved them. I thought they were good, but my husband the kids didn't really like them, so I probably won't make them again.

I made these tonight and I thought they turned out pretty good. If you put some mustard on your burger bun these really taste similar to a Krystal or Whitecastle burger. I didn't use the pepper and I used the Italian bread crumbs instead of the crackers. I'm a total cooking novice so if I can make these anyone can.

Wow! I bought a can of butter beans on a whim & didn't know what to do with them especially when I realized they were lima beans - yuck! These were the best burgers! Now I find myself craving them.

My husband hates butter beans, but loved this recipe. It is a tasty alternative to yet-another-frozen-burger. It was, however, a little on the oily side. I think I should use hotter oil the next time.

i liked these alot, i think others were a little put off by the fact that they were made of beans, but they still ate them! i added alot more jalapeno and onion. also used breadcrumbs instead of cracker crumbs, because that is just what i had. have made these twice-- pay attention to your mixture, if it is not adherent enough you can always add another egg, or if too gooey add more crumbs. fried them in canola oil and served with ketchup. thumbs up!

Pretty good! My 11 yr old ate two which if you knew him, says alot. Next time he asked me to add alittle more cheese. I didn't use as much oil as called for. I used a nonstick skillet sprayed with Pam. I think I used 1 tbsp of oil -- max. I also didn't have crackers so I substituted italian bread crumbs. Everything was great! Thanks for the recipe.
