Spicy Black Bean Burgers

Posted by peppertree on June 24, 2008

I was really looking forward to making this recipe. I bookmarked it way back, and just now bought everything to make it. Once I had everything mixed and started making the patties, the mixture seemed very wet to me. It says that it’s good to let them set up in the fridge for awhile, so that’s what I did. I was hoping that would help. I made 5 BIG burgers out of this mix. I used a cast-iron skillet like it calls for, with no oil, and I don’t know. They stuck to the pan and were just so darned hard to flip! They kept falling apart! The actual taste was really good, it’s just that they would not hold together. Toby was eating one, and half of it fell onto his plate. I don’t know if I would make these again. If I did, I might do as one commenter (on the blog where I got the recipe) said, and that was to coat them again in the panko crumbs after they’ve been in the fridge, and to fry them in a little oil. I served these on whole wheat buns with provolone cheese, some leftover slaw I made this weekend, and some tater crowns!
