Yes, we realize altering the recipe bumps it out of the "Heart Healthy" category, but it doesn't make sense to use a pound of beans and only 1/2 pound of meat. Definitely use the whole pound of ground meat--make it turkey if you want--and double the cracker crumbs (or use bread crumbs). My kids don't care for BBQ sauce, so I used one tablespoon worcestershire sauce instead. This recipe is FANTASTIC IF you use a whole pound of the meat.

Way too many beans, made the texture too mushy. Like eating refried bean patties. I think Boca Burgers are better but my kids ate them & say they would eat them again. I probably wouldn't without altering the recipe. Next time, I'll use a full pound 93% lean hamburger with 1 can of beans. I made these on the George Foreman instead of the outdoor grill and they cooked much better on it. I couldn't even imagine trying to cook these on the outdoor grill. I don't see how I'd have ended up with anything other than a mess. I do like the idea of the beans added though, so I will be altering and trying again.

I mixed these and my boyfriend grilled them. He said that parts of the burgers crumbled into the grill while he was trying to cook them. However, they were absolutely delicious! We made them with ground turkey and black beans, and next time I think we will try mashing at least half of the beans so that they will not crumble as badly. I highly recommend these burgers!
