I prefer bean burgers or soy burgers to veggie burgers. Veggie burgers
just don't stay together well enough, Gardenburgers are the wosrt for
falling apart! I have to eat them with a fork!
For homemade burgers I soak and cook the dried beans and mash them or run
them through my Braun hand blender thingymajigger. you can also use canned
beans. I prerfer the dried beans because I like my beans not quite as
mushy as they are when they come in the can.
yes!!! They freeze wonderfully! My favorite are black bean burgers.
All I do is cook the beans, mash, mix with whatever (usually fully cooked
rice), make into patties, and fry them up. Serve with a little salsa mixed
with sour cream and you're ready to go! You can also add grated veggies if
you want.

I'm usually too lazy to make my own veggie burgers, I buy them. OTOH, in a
pinch when I "need" a burger, any mushed bean combined with cooked rice,
cooked or not oatmeal, or mashed potato flakes is good. Just pat and fry.
