I love this burger. One hint I have for you is that you should only cook up what you plan to eat right away. They do not re-heat well but the mix stays will in the frig and cooks up fine for a day or two.

I added a half a cup of bread crumbs instead of the flour (this is how it is done in the sandra lee recipe. I think this makes it less mushy. Also, I only pureed 3/4 of the beans. Keeping some whole helps make it not all mush. I would highly suggest to make at least 5 patties. When the patties are too thick the outside browns and results in an undercooked center. AI also halved the red pepper flakes and they weren't too spicey. All of the flavors are great though! My boyfriend wants them again.
