This is an amazing recipe. I am a new vegan and trying to limit my fat intake so I have been trying a lot of new recipes lately.

When I saw this recipe I was curious but have been through several disappointing meals. I actually had low expectations for this one.

I was enormously surprised at the level of flavor and satisfaction this meal brings.

I am absolutely head over heals for this. I crave it several times a day.

This is certainly going to be a staple for me from now on.

Thank you so, so much for sharing this recipe!!!

Looks good, going to try these. Haven’t thought about using corn and/or grinding up some of the mixture such as you’ve done and adding to the beans. Also haven’t tried the southwest spices in mine. These look great. Only thing is I am fat free so will have to figure out how to sautee the veges.

I made these tonight. I loved the flavor! I did add some extras…mushrooms, turnips,and used almond meal instead of corn meal. I used more stuff to help thicken them up because mine were pretty soft. I just pureed stuff in the processor and it worked well. The recipe will be a regular in our house…thanks for sharing!

Making this right now with oven “fried” sweet potato fries, corn on the cob, and peas. It smells so good!

I calculated 790 for the entire recipe. Divided by 6 equals 131.66 calories per pattie.

I’d like to stay away from the cornmeal or even breadcrumbs if I can. Anyone know if 1/4 of oats as a substitute would be enough of a binder? Or possibly Quinoa?

I am going to try this. It sounds very good. I think I will try using veg. broth to saute’ my onions instead of spraying the pan, and I will try parchment paper instead of greasing the baking sheet. I am trying desperately hard to reduce my cholesterol and improve my heart health. Thank you so much for the recipe! I really do appreciate it very much!!!! Thank you!

Love mushrooms. I’ll try mushrooms as a binder on next batch. Thanks for the post!

Rather than using cornmeal,I have used finely chopped mushrooms in my vegetarian meat loaf in the past as a binder and it has worked wonderfully. You may want to try this for this burger. I certainly am. Finely chopped portabellos work great.
