You may want to add 1/4 cup of water or bean liquid to the mixture for more moisture. The crunchy crust is awesome. Fry three minutes on each side (don't flip them early). These were also good reheated in the microwave, very soft and meat-like. I added some pasta sauce and a little shredded cheese on top. I tested these at home as a possible SNAP-Ed recipe.

I'm a SNAP consumer. This recipe is staple fare in my house. I just use more oil frying the patties. I also add scallions/green onions, & thawed frozen chopped spinach. Delectable!!!

Patties were very dry. I even added an extra egg. Used dried beans I had soaked and cooked. Canned beans might be better? Also used black beans, might suggest great nothern.
