I think I added too much salsa all at once as this was very wet. But that said, the taste was lovely. I will make this again, but follow the advice of a previous reviewer and add the salsa a bit at a time.

We didn't like these. We ate them, but we had made LOTS b/c we do with everything and we always have leftovers for lunch. The next day at lunch the kids were acting as if it was the 'punishment of the day' to have to eat these!! We didn't like the consistency and thought they were a little bland. We'll go back to our other bean burgers.

I've made these a few times usually with black beans and find them overall to be better than most store bought veggie burgers. My friends and family even enjoyed them, who aren't vegetarian. The only thing was the texture wasn't as firm as I'd hoped but the flavor is great so I gave it five stars. I also recommend starting with a half a cup of salsa and adding until a stiff mixture forms, two cups is way too much. Also, I saute the veggies first with garlic, cumin and chili powder.

Made with Mexican beans as I didn't have any canned kidney beans. Had a great texture. Served just as you would a hamburger & my 1 & 2 year olds ate most of it. Will be making again, experiementing other options. Has great potential.

The taste was good, but the texture just isn't quite there yet. It's hard to shake the feeling that you're eating a bean sandwich. Sadly, I have yet to find a veggie burger recipe that holds together nearly as well as the packaged ones.

While making this recipe I was looking forward to having the sort of bean burger I am used to from my favourite restaurant. Unfortunately I didn't quite get there, but the outcome is still pretty tasty. For me the burgers turned out too mushy. I baked them for 15 min with flipping them over half way and in the end put the oven on 'grill' for a couple of minutes. They were nice and crispy on the outside, but too chewy inside. Will try with more breadcrumbs (I had already used less salsa!) or maybe crushed tortilla chips. A very good recipe though and very quick!

excellent recipe with excellent taste, however, i have not been able to get them cooked without burning them. maybe that's just the way they're supposed to be, but it would prefer if they weren't

Very good, moist and chewy/crunchy like real hamburgers, though a different flavour of course. These taste a bit like tacos, all the salsa I guess, especially if you top with the recommended sour cream. I suggest sour cream, BBQ sauce and a dill pickle slice - delicious on a whole wheat bun, and healthy too! I had to microwave the carrot for more like 5 minutes to get it mashable; might just grate it and not cook it at all next time.
