Expert Tips

When working with sticky mixtures such as these bean patties, wetting your hands with water or spraying them with cooking spray helps prevent a mess.

Such a quick and easy meal! Add a fresh fruit salad and some ice cream bars for dessert.

    This is the first bean burger I've made that hasn't fallen apart or been a sticky mess! Made homemade guacamole with them and they were delicious!

    This is one of my favorite vegetarian burger recipes to make. I don't like spicy so I omit the jalapenos but I do use Italian flavored breadcrumbs and extra green onions. Plus I use lettuce, onion, and tomato as toppers.

    I'd put these burgers up against any cheeseburger. They won't win because let's face it, a big beefy burger smothered in cheese is unbelievable, but these white bean burges would come in a strong second. Top the burgers with bubbling monterey jack cheese, chunky salsa, and some cool guacamole and you won't believe you're eating vegetarian and low-cal.
