I read a previous review and decided to use fat free refried beans instead of mashing the beans myself. Otherwise I followed the recipe closely. I thought I had the consistency problem solved because this made a smooth batter. But they still didn't fry nicely and were mushy. So I took the rest of the mixture, formed it into patties and baked it at about 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Viola! Very good! I could hear my DS taking a bite and saying "These ARE good." Thanks for the recipe, Krsi.

These were my first attempt at veggie burgers. I'm hoping to find a recipe that can replace the expensive store-bought kind. I doubled the salsa, added extra spices, and added 1/2 cup bread crumbs. They held together fine, and the taste was pretty good. I made the mixture into 6 burgers. I love that they are cheap, healthy, and easy. My main complaint is that I would like them better if the texture were a little more "meaty" though... they really don't compare to the store-bought in that respect (unless I did something wrong?). Not sure how to achieve that. I would probably also add some other veggies to it in the future.

Thank you! These are the best veggie burgers that I've made. They had the best taste and were the easiest to make. I followed the recipe, except that I used brown rice and my favorite enchilada sauce instead of salsa. The first four burgers tasted great, but fell apart. Next time I added some ground up whole oats to thicken the burger mixture and hold it together. I should have added some additional seasoning to make up for the oats diluting the flavor of the mixture, but it was still yummy! Next time I'll try adding some fresh cilantro and some garlic. I will be making these for years to come!
