black bean burger (food, crunchy, taste, restaurants)

[piyf]

I made some and my wife and I really liked them but the texture was less than appealing. When you bite into it it was like bitting into refried beans, mushy and all. I even doubled the cook time. I may be one of the few that say this outloud but I love the store bought morning star burgers. They all taste great and have a real burger texture.


Got a receipe to make more appealing?

Do a search. There have been more than a few discussions on black bean burgers in the recipes forum.

Try Linda McCartney's veggie cookbook, Linda McCartney's Home Vegetarian Cooking. Most of her recipes seem to start with "take 3 of your favorite veggie burgers..."

M Star black bean burgers are my favorite too. No way can I eat mushy bean burgers! I cook mine longer than recommended to be even a little crunchy.
I do not like any of their other "burgers"...

Here are several black bean recipes:

I have simply mashed up my drained, homemade black beans, added flour, wheat germ & egg (not necessary) until mixture is a firm consistency that forms easily into flat patties. The drier mix, the better. Then I fry them in olive oil until crisp on both sides.

I like the "Morning Star" Black Bean Chipolte burgers.

I wasn't aware Morningstar was a dirty word. *shrug* I like their products, myself.

I don' thave any personal recipes but I've noticed a few restaurants that I've gotten black bean burgers, they've also been occasionally mushy. Went to SmashBurger and got one and it was good but mushy, just like yours.

We have 2 boxes of MorningStar black bean burgers from Costco in our freezer, along with a bag of MorningStar veggie burgers, that Costco now carries!

Love love LOVE morning star's black bean burger and my daughter does too. I want to start making my own veggie burger as well, but for now, morning star will do.

I read recipes for black bean burgers, lentil burgers, whatever, and really have little to zero interest in cooking beans, chopping veggies, putting them in a food processor, messing up the kitchen. Mess. Forget it. And my burgers fall apart, are mushy, much easier for me to buy them.
