     I drained the beans, didn't use the bread crumbs, and ended up using it as burrito filling instead of burgers. It was pretty yummy but next time I am going to not coat in flour and fry. Save on calories and fat and will still be great as burritos with brown rice. - 1/13/09

     At first, the mixture was too soft to make patties. I added the flour into the mix and then it was better. Next time I will drain the beans first. The taste is INCREDIABLE! We put it on buns with a slice of low-fat Jalepeno Jack cheese and slices of avocado. YUMMY!! - 7/17/08

     I made these last night. The flavor was delicious! They did fall apart a little after I cooked them, but I found that refridgerating them for about 15 minutes after I formed them into patties helped in the cooking process. I also think cooking them a little longer than 5-10 helped. - 2/23/09

     Make extra and crumble over mixed greens with salsa and a little avocado for a great salad lunch the next day. :) - 2/25/08

     I love black bean burgers and these are among the best I've tasted. I increased the amoung of bread crumbs to 1/3 cup because I didn't drain the beans and I added just a dash of chipotle chili powder to kick it up an extra notch. Great served on a toasted whole wheat English muffin. - 9/1/08

     I made these a couple times, they are very delicious!! I think when I used canned beans the burgers held together a little better, since they aren't as greasy as regular burgers, they fall apart a bit. - 6/19/07

     I think it is important to mention that you should measure the black beans after you mash them. To prevent them from falling apart, I added one egg white and chilled for 15 minutes before making patties. I had no problems with the patties breaking. Served with fresh avacado & salsa on wheat buns. - 1/28/10

     Sounds like a great recipe. When I make black bean burgers I coat them with yellow corn meal before cooking (instead of flour) and it gives it a slight crispy crust when you bite into it! Yummy! - 8/7/09
  • SILLYCOX
     I've never made Black Bean Burgers before and these were amazing! Unlike other readers, my burgers held together great w/o doing anything extra. However, I did form the patties then refrigerate for 1/2 or so before I cooked them. I also rinsed the beans before mashing them up. These were a hit w - 1/15/10

     I loved these burgers, but my fam thought they were a little spicy. I may cut back on the seasonings next time for them. YUM! - 2/13/09
  • FISHLIPS76
     Yum! This was relatively easy, just as tasty, and SO much less expensive than store-bought black bean burgers. Thank you so much for the great recipe, it will definitely become a regular in our household. - 11/18/08
  • TNUNCHUK
     I really enjoyed this recipe. I did add an egg and substitute soda crackers for the bread crumbs. It was really sticky, but held together pretty well. - 3/10/08
  • GLOBALJUJU
     I got seven big, fat burgers out of this recipe. Great flavor! I ate them with cream cheese and Taco Bell mild sauce on light wheat bread. The texture is a bit mushy. Maybe adding an egg would help? - 3/16/07
  • KITMACPHERSON
     Loved this recipe. I used an Anaheim pepper instead so there was a little less heat. I also increased it to 4 cloves of garlic. Served it with avocado, tomato and salsa mixed with some greek fat free yogurt. My family ate it on buns, I ate it without. - 3/31/09
  • LADYL1963
     Even better than I anticipated. Drained the beans first, used chipotle salsa along with corn, onions and garlic. Served on a bun with lettuce and tomato. Yum. - 8/30/08
  • MAMAWOF12
     I made these and think that they are great. The only thing that I done different was that I sprayed my cooking stone with fat free spray and placed the pattys in the oven to cook for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. I let them cool, and placed them in the freezer to freeze in single layers for future. - 8/3/10
  • DAVIS00399
     This didn't work out so well for me. My patties kept falling apart, even using an egg white. When I finally got my patties cooked and plated, I was very disappointed with the taste. That's just my experience though-sounds like lots of other people really enjoyed this recipe. - 3/10/08
  • JUST_TERE
     Even my kidlet loved this and she doesn't like vegetables. At all. We've decided as a family to have this at least once a week. - 4/5/08
  • PTPHELAN
     My husband said he liked this better than the Morningstar I normally buy. They had a great taste. Next time I may try to bake without the flour coating. - 8/20/07
  • KARENGMT
     These were so tasty! Especially good on homemade hamburger buns. - 3/29/07
  • TECHCATZ
     Delicious! Served with salsa, RF cheese & salad (no bun). mmmmm... My only problem was I didn't use enough oil when frying so the flour didn't all brown. Next time I'll add more cumin & jalepeno to the mix & more oil in the pan (or does anyone have another suggestion? I don't like to use too much). - 9/18/08

     I love black bean burgers and these were EXCELLENT! A good spicy kick, YUMMY!! - 3/15/07
  • MSU_GAL
     YUMMMMMMMY! This is one of the best recipes I've found on SP and my hubby even agreed! I did add just a dash of egg beater egg whites to help it stick together, but otherwise this recipe rocks!

    Thanks! - 4/9/09
  • MRSSHELLY
     I was very pleased with the way these turned out! My husband and I thought these were very flavorful & healthy. I didn't add the flour, and maybe next time I make them I might add an egg white to help them stay together. But as is, they were great! This recipe is a definite keeper in my collection. - 2/28/08
  • SKINNYRED
     Texture is really mushy, even though I wasn't hoping for it to be like a hamburger. If I made it again, I would add an egg. Hubby liked it better than I did, though. - 7/29/07
