Hi all,

This is a WW recipe but thought I would share it anyways.

1 TBLS canola oil, divided

1/4 c. EACH minced onion, green bell pepper, carrot, and celery

2/3 c. drained canned white kidney Beans (cannellini)

1 egg, slightly beaten

1/3 c. seasoned dried bread crumbs

In 8 inch non stick skillet, heat 1 tsp. of the oil. Add onion, pepper, carrot and celery. Cook over med. heat, stirring occasionally, until veggies are soft and moisture has evaporated, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly.

Using a fork, in medium mixing bowl mash beans, stir in egg. Add bread crumbs and veggie mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Shape mixture into 4 equal patties. Set patties on plate and cover and refrigerate until chilled (at least 20 minutes)

In same skillet heat 1 tsp. of oil and add two patties. Cook over medium heat turning once until browned on both sides and heated through. Remove to plate, keep warm. Repeat with other patties.

Do you think this would be workable with black beans instead?

I was wondering the same thing, not black beans, but just any kind of beans. I am not sure if the texture would be different or if it would be fine. Would be a good thing to try I guess. Deanna

Have you tried this ?? it does sound good and very easy.

You know what...I have not tried it, I will though and post about it. I just thought someone might like the recipe if they couldn't eat hamburger. Deanna

I love veggie burgers. My favorite are Morning Star Garden Burgers mmm mmmm only 100 calories (approx.) each. And if your in a hurry just nuke them.

Can't wait to hear your review on this recipe.

I bought the cannelini beans this week so now just to make them. I will do it THIS week for sure. Deanna

Ok guys. Made it. Ate it. It was good. My DH had his on a bun with tomato, lettuce and ketchup, I had mine plain with salad. It was not a burger, as in HAMBURGER, but it was good. I would make it again, though not every week probably. Deanna

p.s. This is the first time ever trying a veggie burger too, so maybe why that is why it was not 4 stars from me. I will make again though.

i've always wanted to try a veggie burger, i guess, now is a good time!
