Not quite as greasy, but still yummy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-1706250795094791652009-02-02T07:18:00.000-08:002009-02-02T07:18:00.000-08:00Mmmm...this sounds good! My husband is squeamish about anything replacing traditional beef (he can't cope with turkey burgers either). But he's out of town on business so I'm making these for me and the kids tonight!

I just saw this episode of Rachael Ray where she sliced a zillion cherry tomatoes in half at one time by pressing them between 2 yogurt container lids. We all need to hang onto those helpful little critters!JessTrevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000531822628182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-8641854826573550012009-02-01T17:30:00.000-08:002009-02-01T17:30:00.000-08:00My husband is not a vegetarian and I am, so to please us both we eat a lot of bean burgers. It makes him feel like he's eating meat, but I don't have to buy hamburger. Win Win!<BR/><BR/>I've found that almost all bean burger recipes can be baked even if the recipe says to fry them. Doesn't taste exactly the same, but good enough.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I make bean burgers, I double the amount so I can freeze half and have a nice supply on hand for quick dinners and lunches. Unlike AnnMarie, I do cook mine first. I put them on a plate, cover it with foil, and put the whole think in the freezer. When the burgers are frozen, I slide them off the plate into a plastic bag and put back in the freezer. That keeps them from sticking together while freezing. (And I reuse all foil and baggies.) <BR/><BR/>I saw a tip once for freezing burgers that I haven't done but sounded smart. Put them on yogurt container lids and stack inside another container in the freezer. That will keep the burgers from sticking together and make it easy to get individual servings.Erin aka Conscious Shopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02055472303320074413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-85773253882304049632009-02-01T16:48:00.000-08:002009-02-01T16:48:00.000-08:00jess you write recipes like i do with narration! could the mixing of these be done in a blender?

What are the odds? I rarely try out new vegetarian dishes, but just made some black bean patties the other night! They were awesome! Only difference was mine had crushed up tortilla chips in them and no coating. They were nice and crisp on the outside, yummolicious on the inside!Burbanmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03482218254218777985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-69235130008879038342009-02-01T14:42:00.000-08:002009-02-01T14:42:00.000-08:00Thanks for the freezing tip, AnnMarie!<BR/><BR/>EcoLabel FR, Kellie, debra, and Green Bean - they're good as leftovers, too!JessTrevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000531822628182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-48291640514117089422009-02-01T13:35:00.000-08:002009-02-01T13:35:00.000-08:00Funny.
