I make these frequently. They are inexpensive, quick, and taste wonderful.

I make these for my husband and myself all the time. We add a little mozzarella (about 1/3 cup) into the mix which moistens the burger. Sometimes we top it with marinara sauce instead of the usual burger toppings for an Italian twist.

These are delicious!! Yes they are small, only 2.4 ounces each (per patty). So I doubled one for my husband. He said he didn't miss the meat, I am a vegetarian so I never miss the meat. Few changes, I used 2 egg whites vs. one whole egg, I used whole wheat bread crumbs, I doubled the garlic powder (only because I love garlic). Will definitely make again (super quick recipe).

The beans smelled horrible in the food processor, but the burgers were delicious once made.

These were a great vegetarian burger. I added a little more garlic powder, some salt and two fresh cloves of garlic to the mixture.

The second time I made these I used 2 eggs instead of one & added some olive oil. They held together much better, just not quite as healthy.
