This was not to my liking - I really think it should be called a "black bean patty" versus a "burger". The texture was mushy and it overwhelmingly tasted of the canned black beans.

very yummy-this is a good vegetarian staple & a great break from meat for the carnivore. It was a little spicy for me, but I think it would be fine for most folks.

I made these the way it was written the first time and they were very good. However, I have since then made some changes that made them fabulous for my tastes. I did add an extra egg, I don't put in the fresh veggies I use powdered to flavor(just easier for me) I also changed the spices to better suit the flavor I was looking for. I am not vegetarian, I just wanted a healthier substitute for my primary addiction(cheeseburgers) as I am on a strict diet now. I use liquid smoke, worchestershire sauce, and beef bouillion to flavor the burgers to get a beefier flavor. I also plan to use oat flour instead of bread crumbs next time I make these to make them even better for you. Hopefully they will still turn out good. These satisfy my craving for a burger every time, and this is healthy to boot. LOVE and highly recommend this recipe even for meat lovers like me.

Even my husband, who claims to dislike all kinds of veggie burgers, LOVES these. They are really good on a whole wheat bun with bbq sauce. I usually make at least a double recipe and freeze the individual patties.

These were fantastic. I made them exactly as directed and they were the consistency of a thick batter but formed nicely and after about 5-7 min per side on the grill they were perfect!

Used panko as that's all I had. Other than that, I followed everything else. I found tht their was WAY too much cumin for our tastes. We like cumin but this seemed overpowering. I didn't have any trouble with them falling apart. However, I had made them earlier in the day and they sat in the fridge for a few hours before dinner time. Not sure if this helped them stay together or not.

Excellent! Taste & texture are great. I made these in the broiler with some Cajun-seasoned sweet potato fries (also broiled). I followed other reviewers' suggestions and kept the beans, onion and pepper as dry as I could and I had no problems with them falling apart. I used paper towels to squeeze the ingredients dry. I topped them with some pepper jack & cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sliced jalapenos (good if you like it hot). I also made a small amount of cajun light mayo (1/4 cup of light mayo + 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning) and used that on the toasted buns.

This was great recipe, I did not use the Thai chili/hot sauce since my husband can't take food that's too hot. So, I followed the ingredients exactly as the recipe and instead of baking it/grilling it I very very lightly fried it in x-tra virgin olive oil, very lightly only to coat it. TIP: It is not salty so if you like more salt than just a hint of taste, either use a bit of salt or use feta cheese when you assemble your burger.

They taste great, but are really soft and kinda messy. Maybe more bread crumbs would help with that?

The veggie burgers in the store are bland and pasty. This one is superb in every way! I left out the hot sauce and cut the chili powder in 1/3 (I'm hypersensitive to spicy foods) and it tasted spiced and passive. I chopped the veggies in a small cuisinart. I decided to put everything in the cuisinart. The end result was smooth and tasty. I'd like some small bits of unique flavors, so I'll leave out a bit of the chopped veggies and incorporate it after I cuisinart everything else. I drained and dried the ingredients as best I could and the mix was still too wet. I added more bread crumbs per other suggestions. Good idea. I also added carrots and spinach. The recipe portions are too big for me. I made a double batch and baked 1/2 to store, freeze and nuke. This also makes a great spread raw. I'll definitely make this again and again.

Very good! I did as other posters suggested and got the onions, green peppers, garlic, and beans VERY dry before mixing. I also only did 1 TSP. of cumin as 1 TBSP. just sounded like wwaayyy too much. I decided to cook them in the cast iron skillet and that gave them a nice crust on the outside. They were very delicious and I will no longer be buying the pre-made ones in the frozen section of the store. Thanks for the recipe!

These were just alright, in my opinion. I fear that cumin caused the downfall of these burgers. I have this spice in my spice rack but seldom use it because I don't care for the smell...but decided to give it a try. Initially I thought they smelled yummy but the taste was a whole different matter. I think the combination of the cumin taste and the slightly chalky texture from the black beans was a real problem. We ate them, they weren't terrible...but I did have to load mine with relish, ketchup and mustard to hide the cumin taste. I added 1/4 can of drained niblet corn and used a red pepper instead of green. These looked really pretty! I also used a HUGE amount of freshly ground black pepper and several generous dashes of extra hot red pepper sauce. I like the idea of making my own veggie burgers and will keep looking for the perfect recipe. This one has potential though, I might try to tweak it to our tastes.

AWESOME! my boyfriend is opposed to veggie burgers but he loved these. I substituted corn for red bell peppers and added more hot sauce. If you freeze them first before you grill them, it stays together a lot better.

GREAT burgers!!!!!!! I have made these on several occasions, and everyone RAVES about this recipe. Since I didn't have chili sauce on hand, I just subbed mild picante sauce and it worked out great. As in other suggestions, I placed the patties in the freezer for about 20 minutes prior to cooking. This helped to keep them together while cooking with foil on the grill. A definite keeper!!! Thanks for sharing this GREAT recipe. I am now a hit with the veggie and health food crowd when I grill.
