I make this recipe at least every other week, it is so good! This time I tried something which helped the process: after pulling the slightly dried beans out of the oven I mashed them with the back of a fork right on the baking sheet. This meant less work combining them with the rest of the mix, and have me more control on the consistency. Thanks for another fantastic recipe!

These are a big hit!

I doubled it, and followed most of the recipe with a couple of tweaks. (1) I used dry black beans instead of canned. I regularly prep/cook large amounts of beans, so I followed that same process incorporating the spices listed. (2) I left out the feta. Our household isn’t a big fan, so I adjusted with a little extra salt. (3) We didn’t have any peppers on hand, either. (4) We don’t have a food processor so I just mashed the beans by hand with a potato masher.

This recipe is pretty forgiving and flexible – even with tweaks they still turned out great.

I’ve made these before an we absolutely love how they turn out. I’m planning to try these as smash burgers this weekend. Let me know if you have any suggestions for changes to the recipe for cooking them this way!

In reply to ec. That could be the reason, or they were over-cooked? Thank you for trying them and reporting back.

I made these last night, but didn’t really care for them They were too dry even though I tried putting Russian “dressing” on my burger after the first bite. I can’t figure out what went wrong as I I followed the directions to the letter.
Maybe I blotted too much moisture out of the peppers & onions after sauting them???

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah, so glad you enjoyed them! These should work well in an air fryer, although we’re unsure of the exact bake time. It should be pretty close to the times here. Let us know if you try it!

Hi, I’ve made these before and we loved them! Was wondering if you have any advice on how to cook these in an air fryer? We’re in a heatwave and I don’t want to run the oven. TIA!
