Really very good, and healthy! I added minced up mushrooms with the beans to keep moisture, it worked great!
Patrick Alvarez
I tried this recipe on a camping trip. I made them ahead of time and froze them. Thawed them out and put on the grill for about 10 minutes and they were wonderful. Some people said they are kinda dry, but my were great!

Really enjoyed this burger, which I created as an open face. I added cayenne pepper, Ms Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning, and Hoisin Sauce. I didn’t have chili powder on hand. Easy to follow recipe. Will be adding to my rotation.
Craig Martin
I followed the recipe and flavoured it to my taste. It was amazing! I had it with burger buns, lettuce, tomato and avocado slices.
Brandon Allen
Delicious!!
Mr. Hector Wilson
Following the recipe ended up very dry for me and not microwave friendly. With that said I can’t really replicate on words what I found to be tasty and this was a great primer for exploration of the bean burger kind!

Turned out very well. Next time I’ll use only a 1/4 cup of flour. Great meal for those converting to plant based.
Jill Reeves
Baked mine at 350 degrees to try and keep it a most healthy recipe.Very Good.Will make again.
Kyle Castillo
I added 1 cup of panko to mine.
Samuel Griffin
I think I coated it with to much flour So if i made again just dust with flour or none at all
Alexandra Mclaughlin
Easy to make, and a great addition to Mestless Mondays. Next time I make them, I will use more egg to help them stay together better. Also may add cayenne pepper to kick up the heat.

I made it once with bread crumbs and then made it with gluten free crackers

I left out the sirracha, simply because I don’t care for it, and used a buffalo hot sauce. I cut the recipe in half to try it and found them to be dry – like others have mentioned. When I made it again I followed Pioneer Women’s direction in not rinsing the beans and leaving them a bit moist in their own liquids, this helped SO much. Yummy and not too spicy, even with a healthy bit of hot sauce. Avacado/Guacamole is the perfect addition to this burger! I didn’t have whole wheat flour, instead used just normal self rising. And because I left some juices, they were a little sticky when forming so the flour worked well, that or form and freeze for a little while to get them to firm up for easier handling. Just don’t make the mistake of adding more breadcrumbs, that will result in it being dry again.

Wow was this good! I learned one thing though. Don’t try to smash them down with the spatula. Not a good idea! Delicious and thank you:)
James Gilmore
Loved it and pretty easy!
Jacob Webb
Used all the required ingrediants but used a different cooking method since I’m against frying things. To keep it healthy I cooked in the oven for 30 minutes on 350. Came out great! The taste was yummy and at best meduim heat with the jollies. Will make again and double recipe to freeze.

Delicious! I used pico de gallo, guacamole, cilantro, salsa and lettuce for toppings. These enhanced the flavor and made the beans less dry. I grilled them on the grill and they were a big hit!
Joshua Arnold
delicious! but the burger size was too big. I would suggest making 8 patties and topping with avocado
James Tucker
I liked the combination of spices but I used 2 cans of beans, nixed the corn and added 6 Thai chilis and 2 chipotle peppers for more of a kick. I grilled them on a George Foreman. Need to find a way to make them moister. Other than that, they turned out great.
Meagan Ellis
I used a half cup of chopped onion and half cup I chopped green pepper to replace the cup of corn, and it was great. I’ll definitely make these again! 🙂
