    Just made these, i did swap out a few things, like i used canned black beans (rinsed off and very well drained)
    instead of homemade black beans, and i used teaspoon or two of cumin instead of the hot peppers that you used.

    I also used Progresso bread crumbs,
    instead of crackers.
    I WISH i had used oats instead of bread crumbs,
    as i found the overall texture a bit mushy.

    DELICIOUS taste, yum!
    but, kinda mushy.

    I did freeze them prior to cooking them. Pan-fried the pattie on high heat....then, lowered heat and cooked it some more, to make sure the pattie got cooked all the way through.

    Maybe, if i had made THINNER PATTIES, instead of a typical hamburger thickness,
    and maybe, if i had used oats instead of bread crumbs,(?)
    then maybe i would not have pattie that was kinda mushy.......

    but LOVED the taste.:bigsmile:

    ANY TIPS TO GET THESE TO BE OF A FIRMER TEXTURE???



    btw, i had to add an entire cup of bread crumbs,:noway: to get the 'dough' to form into patties,
    so i went to some other website, added in all my ingredients,
    and divided by number of patties i made,
    and it said my veggie burger would = 146 calories, since i used so many bread crumbs,
    but i got lots of iron, and B vitamins, though.

    Tried these with oats instead of crackers; wonderful! I cook them ahead then reheat in the microwave and have for lunch with some avocado on a sandwich thin. Thanks!

    i am still using up my frozen patties here, and although i made them TOO thick, (mushy-ish inside)
    i found, i can take a frozen one, cook it on high heat in a nonstick pan, with a lid..

    as it cooked, i sprayed a large spoon with cooking spray, and flattened that burger down, down, down, so it was thinner.
    and thinner.
    then
    i pretty much almost burned it, on purpose, to increase chances it'd be not mushy.

    and DID get a more firm burger then.:drinker: Slathered it with mustard. Tasted good...still needs 'something' to add some chewiness to it, though, imo....
