Black Bean Rice Burgers

A salsa and sour cream sauce helps dress up these hearty vegetarian burgers. "My fiance, who's a confirmed meat-and-potatoes man, loves these sandwiches and asks for them often," relates Laura Wimbrow of Ocean City, Maryland.

Wow! This just sounds great. I'm going to try this for super tonight .

Since I have been diagnosed with food allergies, I have been searching for new recipes. This sounds like it might work for me (minus the salsa, and the bun. Katie R

With the price of meat getting so high, I'm always looking for receipes that use meat substitutes. This one sounds very good. I will try it!

I'm going to try this...sounds delicious. I'm also going to switch the egg for egg white. Also, if you want your nonstick pans to last...never use cooking spray on them. It will eventually damage your pans.

I tried this recipe the other night, it was very good and easy to make, the sauce was very good. The only problem I had was that they fell apart. I thought maybe I had put too much rice in it, but when my daughter made them they did the same thing for her. Maybe if the patties were smaller it would help any suggestions?

I am having the same problem as Sharan, with the burgers falling apart. I am going to try browning and baking them at 350 d. F. until they are firm. Even after browning them for 4 min/side, they are still "soft". Will post back my results!

After baking at 350d. F for approx. 35 min, they were firm enough for me to not fall apart so easily, and reminded me more of real burgers. I added 1 tbsp. finely chopped chipolte pepper (in sauce), and a few shakes of granulated garlic. Nice and spicy. Next time I will reduce the amount of salsa and add more garlic.
