This veggie burger had an amazing amount of flavor and when pan fryed it got a nice crust on the outside. However the texture on the inside was a lot like refried beans, okay if you like it that way. I would probably try to add oats or cooked rice to mixture to give it a little more toothsomeness if I did this recipe again. Not a big hit with the family.
Not bad, although I didn't eat them right away after making them because they didn't look cooked through (I realize that nothing was raw inside, but still...). Instead, I heated them in the oven the next day. They were fine. Good way to eat healthy stuff I woudn't normally eat (red beans).
Excellent - I broiled it in the oven, flipping once.
