The flavor was great, but the patties just fell apart. Cooked the first two in the skillet (fell apart)the next two just heated them up in a bowl in the microwave. No dought about it, I did like the flavor. Just wish the pan fried ones would have stuck togeather (like a burger). -
This is a great recipe - inexpensive, tasty and filling. I used hot chili powder and a little less oil to cook the patties. I think this would be great made with black beans as well. Served topped with salsa and a little sour cream, although I could see these being served on a bun like a burger as well. Thanks for posting the recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2011
