I thought these were excellent. I substituted mesquite A1 sauce for the ketchup, and skipped the pepper. I made 6 patties while the rice was hot and tried to leave them alone while they were frying. I didn't have any trouble with them falling apart. I will definitely make these again! Next time, I'll saute some onions and maybe some mushrooms for the top though.

This was delicious. I used less ketchup and added several Tbsp of very chunky salsa, along with a little lime juice, plus extra chili powder and cumin. The patties held together when formed, but when I turned them over in the pan, they completely fell apart. Maybe it was because my rice was very firm, and it wouldn't mash well, thus, causing the mixture to be too dry? Anyway, since patties were obviously out of the question, I made burritos instead. I filled 4 tortillas with the mixture, topped with shredded extra sharp cheddar, then baked in the oven several minutes. I served them with shredded lettuce, chopped onion, chopped tomato, and salsa. It was great. Thanks!

These were pretty good and really filling. I made two and a half bread-sized patties out of half of this recipe. I used white rice instead of brown rice and seasoned them with 1/4 teaspoon each garlic, onion powder, paprika, cumin, beef bouillon, salt, and pepper. I used cold cooked beans and mixed everything straight into a freshly cooked pot of rice. I cooked them for five minutes on each side, flipping just once, on a preheated cast iron skillet on medium with about a teaspoon or so of margarine. I didn't have any problems with them falling apart. Next time, I think I'll season them more. Thanks for the recipe! I will be making this again.
