Reviews
excellent recipe – these burgers taste as good as the best beef burger!
This burger is so good highly recommend
We loved them – I used Baharat spice blend instead of chili powder and seasoned panko crumbs. Although Baharat is a middle eastern spice, it lends a real southwest flavour to this burger. Absolutely delicious and incredibly easy for a quick fix, healthy meal!
I used two 15.5 oz cans of black beans, two eggs, and no onion (my onion went bad sadly). I beat the eggs, added the black beans, and mixed them well. Then I added the rest of the ingredients and mixed for about a minute until everything was well blended. The mixture held together as well as a burger made from beef… maybe even better than some beef burgers. It made 4 to 6 patties. I just topped mine with tomato and sautéed spinach. They turned out great so I’ll definitely be making again, hopefully with an onion next time
Ree’s recipe in her cookbook is a bit different than this one, but they have many similarities. Overall, a good burger. Filling, tasty, cheesy. Good crust on the outside. However, the center was very mushy, and both my husband and I felt the texture was a bit off-putting. I would love if maybe t had something else in it to give it some more texture…maybe cooked brown rice? Maybe diced red pepper?
Followed recipe exactly, we all enjoyed every bite!
It was good for a veggie burger, but more than likely not something I would try again. I used half of the bread crumbs and 1 egg; I would recommend two eggs. Instead of the spices I just bought a seasoning packet and added garlic and a few dashes of worchishire sauce which really helped with the flavor. I also cooked the onions before adding them in. They fell apart for me when I tried to eat a patty which is why I’d recommend double the eggs listed.
It was quick and easy, but it lacked flavor
Yummy. We added a more spice and served it with roasted red onions, zucchini, Cauliflower, baby carrots and flatbread with hummus. We loved it!
Made these last night … delicious! I did add my own touches with sautéed diced mushrooms and red bell pepper. Wanted a little heat to it so added chipotle and cayenne. So good definitely a keeper !
