This is the best bean burger recipe I have ever tried! Believe me I have tried so many with great disappointment every time. I didn't have any quinoa on hand but had cooked brown rice. I used it and it worked just fine. Added in a half of diced jalapeno pepper I had too. Really, really good! This is a keeper recipe :-))

Tried these last night. Very simple to make and really very tasty. I prepared the recipe as written. Don't think there is anything I would do differently. Great stuff! My guest loved them too.

These were the best bean burgers ever (way better than any I'd ever purchased or made myself.) You could make this to suit your own tastes, or to use what you have on hand. I subbed a can of organic navy beans for the black beans, used 1/2 of a green pepper instead of yellow, upped the onion and garlic, and ground some organic stuffing mix in my mini food processor to replace the bread crumbs (I also doubled the bread to make sure they would bind together.) I added about 2 teaspoons of vegetarian worchester sauce, and left out the cumin. I also subbed the egg with ground flax seed (works every time!) Then I baked them at 350 for 20 minutes per side. I got 5 nice sized burgers, and served them on homemade buns.

This was soooooo good! I could eat these all week. As suggested, I used oats instead of bread crumbs. Mine didn't stay together too well, but I also made a much bigger batch so I think I just needed one more egg. We try to do gluten free so I topped them with carmelized onions and served them over an avocado, corn and tomato salad with a cilantro vinaigrette...I can't tell you how amazing it was. Meat eaters weren' missing the meat at all since it had so much flavor! I'd love to find a way to replace the eggs and make them vegan if anyone has suggestions.

After reading the reviews, I was hoping for this great taste and I didnt get it. I ate it plain so I could taste just the "burger" and I looked at my husband as he took a bite and we both said its just not for us.

This recipe needs 10 stars, it was so good that it's hard to believe it's a vegetarian dish. I served it in a whole wheat tortilla, with coleslaw made of a little mayonnaise the cabbage lime juice and a smidge of sugar. this dish is definitely one to make again. Awesome awesome awesome. my husband and son absolutely loved it

I've never had veggie burgers before and this is my first recipe. These form nice burgers. I will certainly be making these again! So many possibilities as well. Who needs beef?!!

Wow. I've been trying to cook sans meat at least one night a week and this recipe will definitely be made at least once a month. My husband was horrified when I told him I would be making black bean and quinoa burgers (he HATES quinoa) but he had two! The flavor of these burgers was phenomenal. The texture was slightly mushy, so I think next time I'm going to try baking them.
