Looks awesome! How do these freeze? I think my 1 year old would love these and need to have something premade for those crazy weeknight dinners, as I don’t want to purchase the processed veggie burgers in the grocery stores. Too much crap in them, despite the attractive quality of being easy!
Dawn says
Hey Andrea! Just cook them & when they are cool -wrap them in freezer wrap individually. You can warm them using the microwave, grill, broiler or pan on the stovetop.

Dawn – great idea to do a shorter newsletter once a week – I get overwhelmed with too much information from everyone. The black bean veggie burger sounds delicious – and am going to prepare it during the week – thank you. Susan

I made these last week and they were so delicious! They really do make 10 patties. I shamelessly ate 5 that very same day for lunch and dinner. YUM! Even my carnivorous hubby loved them!

Hi! I am having a hard time getting these to stay together when I make them. They break apart every time when I try to cook them. Any suggestions?!
Dawn says
Veggie Burger Troubleshooting: 1) Make sure the veggies are cut super, super small, if the pieces are too big, they will cause the burger to crumble. 2) Let the burgers mix set & sit for 15 minutes in the fridge before making patties so everything has a chance to stick together. 3) Use your HANDS to pack the burgers, make sure to squish/squeeze the mix while you are forming the patties, don’t be afraid to really get in there!
