Black Bean Burgers

[softlyrising]

These turned out great. We baked them and then grilled them on our George Foreman grill. Next time, I'd only use a little cilantro -- I think the taste was a little too overpowering. Otherwise, delicious and really nice texture.

I made these burgers for dinner tonight w/a side of the "Spicy fries" recipe also on this site. I used green pepper instead of red because I just happened to have it on hand. I baked the burgers according to the recipe. I topped my 2 burgers w/broccoli sprouts and mild salsa. My husband put sprouts and ketchup & mustard on his. I think that they were a little smushy in the middle, but my husband said they were perfect. Maybe next time I won't make them so thick.

These were delicious! I made mine much flatter then the ones in the picture, but they turned out great.  They have a great flavor and make a great alternative to the store bought meat substitutes.

what size can is anyone using? 12 or 16oz is what i would call standard, is a big can larger than that?

Thes things were GREAT.  I didn't put them on a hamburger bun, I just ate them with ketchup and they were delicious!!
Thanks for this recipe.

okay, so I tried these - and I didn't like them  They were to mushy and kindda bland. I think I tried another black bean burger recipe on this site, cause this one just weren't for me.

did you rinse off the beans before you mashed them up???  that makes them more dry...I cant believe you didn't like them, what other recipe did you use?  I would like to try it!!

[Sisse]

Taneika: I did rinse them off... Don't know what happend.  The other recipe was "Black Bean Burger" were there's oats in it... Its on this site as well...

[taneika]

hmm...that makes me sad! i loved them, i'm going to try the other one...

Great recipe! I just made these for myself and they were so quick to prep and bake! I had mine with sprouts and a whole wheat tortilla with some ketchup. I have 4 burgers for leftovers! yes!!

These have fantastic flavor.  Although, I did cook them twice as long in the oven, and they were still pretty soft.  I didn't think I made them that thick, but I decided to throw them in a pan to get them nice and crispy on the outside.  They were still fairly soft, but I guess that's what you should expect.  They're black bean burgers after all.  But they were so delicious.  My meat-eating boyfriend told me that I should definately make these again.  I also used garbanzo beans in them as well, because I only had half a can of black beans.  They could be eaten alone as bean fritters without the bun, and they'd be fantastic!  Thanks!
