These are TOTALLY worth 5 stars, all the way. I used lots and lots of jalapenos, and for some reason needed about 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. They held together beautifully! Topped with sharp cheddar and jalapeno slices, and served on an onion roll! :D YUMMMM!!!!

This is a really tasty recipe and easy to prepare. I did not find that I needed to add the egg white, perhaps because I did not drain the beans enough. As I was out of bread crumbs I sustituted soda cracker crumbs. Thanks for the recipe.

One bite and Dh proclaimed these better than burgers. They were a little soft but I used canned, drained tomatoes and I possibly got a little carried away when adding the barbecue sauce, so that probably accounted for the extra moisture. These are going to be repeat burgers at our house, Angie.

Terrific recipe. I have tried just about every vegetable burger out there and never went crazy over any. These are so tasty, easy to make too. I follwed the recipe except for using only 1tb of bbq sauce; i only had a cheap brand which i didnt like so i didnt want that to ruin the recipe. when i make these again i'll use a good brand. I didnt put any toppings on it because the taste was just so good. Next time i will also add more hot peppers because i like a spicy taste. I made mine and put them in seal locked baggies overnite. I fried them in a pan with some olive oil and they were delicious. I am going to try either freezing them or making a double batch to keep in the fridge for the week. Thanks!

This was a great recipie especially for my friend since she's a vegetarian. While the rest of the family was having regular, boring burgers, me and my friend tried this and loved it!

Oh so tasty! The BBQ sauce really crossed the t's. I would recommend though draining the beans really really well - for me the mixture was far too soft to form any sort of patties. Very good taste though, so I'll definitely play with this to make them firmer...

I was skeptical, but since we are trying for a healthier lifestyle and including more beans/legumes and less meat, I gave it a shot. I didn't have any tomatoes or jalepnos, so I subbed a can of tomatoes and green chiles (well drained). I used egg yolk instead of the white (the whites are basically just water, and won't act as a binding agent like the protein in the yolk will)- although I think it could be left out completely. This was so delicious! Very easy, super flavorful- I think I might actually prefer these over regular hamburgers. Thanks for posting!

I also did not need the egg white, and had to add more breadcrumbs. They were very soft and squished out of the buns but the taste was wonderful! I used about 2 Tbsp pickled jalapenos and homemade bbq sauce (#4579) and served with thick slices of extra sharp cheddar cheese and fresh spinach. Thanks for the recipe - it's a keeper!

Absolutely delicious - served with reduced-sugar ketchup, American mustard and sliced gherkin! Thank You for sharing this marvellous recipe! Although not a real vegetarian, my diet is about 90%+ veggie and I was a true veggie for years and until I tried this recipe I have been buying this sort of thing in the stores as they're so nice and wincing at the amount of fat store-bought ones include. It had never occured to me before, but from now on I'll be making my own with your recipe! Had to substitute a bit less of Matzo crumbs as had no breadcrumbs, cherry tomatoes as had no other tomatoes and slightly more green bell pepper chunks as no jalapenos. I froze two of the burgers and it wouldn't surprise me if they're even better Was wonderful and I'll try it just as you've suggested next time though - and there will be a great many next times!

Like everyone else I liked these burgers. I omitted the egg white and needed to add more crumbs than called for, probably a total of 3/4 cup. I used Panko, which worked well. I also used a larger can of beans, the 25 oz. size, and got 4 adult sized patties and one smaller one. Next time I will leave about half of the beans whole for texture. I toasted the cut sides of the buns until crispy to offset the softness of the patties. I did add a bit of cumin and some smoked paprika. They browned nicely in a fairly hot pan. All in all very tasty and my family liked them and asked to have them again.
