  1. I used a can of Amy's black refired beans replaced the bread crumbs with oats and the flour with cornmeal to make it gluten free. For the cheese, I used Daiya Italian, to make it dairy-free. I am not a big eater, but I ate 2 of these, so they must be good!
     
  2. Love this recipe. After I found out how the vegetarian food I have been buying for years was made, i decided to make my own. These burgers are delicious.
     
  3. First time I ever made or tasted veggie burgers. I made them for a vegetarian friend, who was visiting. She said it was the best veggie burger that she had ever eaten. I made them almost like the recipe call for except I added 2 small carrots finely grated and i/2 a red pepper and 1/2 an orange pepper, and I used olive oil instead of canola. Thanks for the excellent recipe. My daughter and I also thought that they were excellent. She grilled them.
     
  4. Downright outstanding veggie burgers! Much better than Morningstar Farms:) They held together very well! I served them without any buns, since they're quite starchy already. Didn't miss the buns at all:) I used a 15 1/2 ounce can of black beans, and kept everything else the same. I used ketchup and added some hot sauce, and I used a store-bought brand of parmesan bread crumbs. I'd sure make this again! I served with my favorite burger toppings - pickles, ketchup and mustard. I grilled them in the oven and had no problems with sticking (I used a non-stick spray). I would definitely make these again!
     
  5. Good recipe, but this sites servings adjustment tool and print rendering doesn't work at all. VERY annoying

  1. These are very good burgers. I did have to adapt to what I had on hand though. I used oatmeal in place of bread crumbs and nutritional yeast in place of the cheese(about1-2 Tablespoons). I was mashed my beans with a potato masher instead of the food processor. and just mixed everything else in. Thanks for an easy recipe.
     
  2. These were so easy to make and very flavourful as is. I used cornmeal instead of the flour (as other reviewers suggested). Aside from that change, I left all other measurements as is and it was DELICIOUS!!! This is an immediate addition to my weekly menu. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us. I appreciate it!
     
  3. The flavor was good, but the consistency was a little gummy, which is what I've found with most bean-based veggie burgers. Using barbecue sauce instead of ketchup was brilliant, but I missed the part where only 2 tblsp went into the mixture and added all 3. I couldn't find a 19 oz can of black beans, so had to use 15 oz. I will continue my search for the perfect veggie burger.
     
  4. one of the best black bean burgers I've made! This will definitely be on a regular schedule in our house. I used dried black beans that I had cooked prior. As another poster suggested, I replaced the flour with cornmeal and the bread crumbs with oats for gluten free. Cooked on the stovetop, about 5-6 minutes per side. The texture was perfect. Served with salsa and sour cream with no bun. I will be trying the leftovers as more traditional with tomato, lettuce, ketchup etc. Thank you for a great recipe!
     
  5. How filling and yummy! The only change I made was to use salsa instead of ketchup (didn't have any). I topped it with ton of condiments and devoured. I also had to improvise creatively when I found out a guest was gluten free. For just her patty, I used crumpled rice krispies in place of breadcrumbs - totally worked!
