I adjusted the receipe as follows to reduce the amount of liquid :
1/4 C chopped onion
1 Carrot grated
1/4 yellow squash grated
1 potato grated
2 chopped mushrooms
2 large bannana peppers chopped.
1/2 C oatmeal as a binding agent.
No oil
No salt (there is plenty of sodium in the beans and condiments)
I fried 3 burgers and baked 3 at 425 while baking my sweet potato fries. I froze the burgers not eaten for use later.
I had no problem with these burgers falling apart. The problem with the original receipe is too much moisture (potatoes have a lot of water), the amount of the additional ingredients prevents the beans from holding the burger together, and no binding agent other than the eggs. Substitute bread crumbs if you don't want to use oatmeal.
This made 6 burgers instead of 8
