These are great! My husband made these for dinner tonight and I was really impressed! He did not use the egg, parsley and the chilli flakes neither the full amount of bread crumbs. He put celery and 2 pimentos instead. I think the texture was firm enough and stayed together perfectly. The egg may make it mushy and more wet. The pimentos made the flavor pop and as I said it was impressive. He made a garlic sauce with some pimento in it and this made the burger even more yummy. We used corn on the cob in a garlic butter sauce as our side dish. I think this will be a regular at our home.

These burgers were quite good. I didn't change the recipe much, except to add a little chili powder and cumin for more flavor. My husband even liked them, which was surprising since he's not a veggie burger kind of guy. Refrigerating them for 20 min. or so does help them stay together, but they are on the fragile side, so you need to be careful with them.

This is the first of Sandra's recipes that I have made and it is a winner in my book. I am fairly new to cooking and on a budget and this was tasty, easy and cheap. I made the sweet potato fries too and was able to clean up the entire kitchen while both of these things cooked. I love that! My boys gobbled these burgers up. I am going to use the leftover bean mixture to make the enchiladas tomorrow.

Love this burger. It is so easy! I have made it 3 times now. For the toppings, we melt a small amount of mexican cheese blend on top, put some guacamole, and believe it or not, a little bit of mayo. Everyone in the family agreed that those toppings (which we didn't do the first time made it a tasty burger!

These were easy, inexpensive, and delicious! Even my "meat and potatoes" boyfriend thought they were delicious! I used dried cilantro and panko bread crumbs because I had them on hand, and my burgers turned out wonderfully! I also added a little cumin, a slice of colby-jack cheese to the bun, and pan cooked the burgers. The consistency was a little difficult to work with (they didn't want to stick together at first, but I will try refrigerating before making patties next time as someone suggested. Definitely a "keeper" recipe!

This recipe's easiness/cheapness is fantastic. The burgers tasted delicious as well. I will definitely make this again, and I am excited to do the enchiladas this afternoon....Im sure those will be yummy as well! The consistency of the burgers was a tad annoying, they tend to want to crumble and break. But other than that they are quick, easy, and delicious!

I cut this recipe in half. Totally forgot to set some whole beans aside and pureed it all. I didn't have any cilantro or fresh parsley. I used dried parsley, cayenne,cumin and coriander along with salt and pepper. No eggs on hand, used some ground flax as a binder. After adding the bread crumbs, I tasted the mix and it just fell flat. Not enough flavor. So I added around two tbl of organic ketchup and frozen roasted corn. Much better! I sauteed it in olive oil on the stove top, and served it on a whole wheat bun. It was pretty good, but a little mushy, which is probably my fault for blending all the beans and not reserving any. However, I really think some nice chunks of chewy mushrooms and maybe even a little shredded carrot would elevate the dish, but all in all I like this recipe as a base and will make future variations. Oh yeah, used tzatziki and mixed greens and ketchup on the bun. One last thing, chill the mixture before making patties.

Cheap and healthy? I'm there. I love this recipe. I have tried other black bean recipes and this is by far the easiest. I would cut back a bit on the red pepper next time b/c it was a bit too hot for my taste however, black beans would be bland without spice so experiment with what you like. I also love this show -- the recipes are economical and they are so so so easy to pull together -- just what every busy Mom needs! I know that a lot of people knock Sandra Lee but I think she's great! Thank you Sandra!

Success! My first attempt at homemade vegetarian for one of our kids - we ALL loved them, even a huge thumbs up from the vegetarian. We grilled ours, never had any probs with falling apart and I added a can of summer sweet corn. I used dried cilantro and did everything else by the book - no problems, no overpowering anything.
