There are tons of veggie burger recopies, but if you want a product like Boca or Morning Star burgers, your going to need TVP (textured vegetable protein)!. Most large grocery store carry it!. You can also find it a health food stores!.

1 egg, beaten
1 cup flour
1 onion, diced
1 tbsp ketchup
1/2 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste

Combine TVP and the vegetable broth in a bowl!. Allow the TVP to rehydrate for at least 15 minutes!. Drain off any excess moisture!. Combine the TVP with the remaining ingredients!. Form the mixture into patties and fry in oil on each side until browned!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

buy some soy protein granules at your local health food store or grillers crumbles at the grocery store!. for the dry granules, soak them in water so they become moist and put whatever veggies you want in them like black beans, pepper or onion, seasoning like garlic and then make it into a burger ball with your hands and put on a foreman grill or frying pan!. for the grillers crumbles thaw out and do the same thing except soaking in water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've made these with different spice so it can be cajun or italian or whatever!.!.!.

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 onion, cut into wedges
OR
Frozen pepper stir fry, thawed (red, yellow, green pepper slices and onion slices, available in the freezer section at the grocery)!.

3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg (or egg substitute equivalent to 1-1!.5 eggs (1/4-3/8 cups))
OR
1 Tbsp!. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp!. water Stir together until thick and gelatinous!.

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs (maybe in addition, add 1/2 cup cooked brown rice) (possibly use rolled oats instead of bread crumbs)

Note:
How to keep them from falling apart!. Rinse the black beans and dry them off before mashing them!. Use the food processor for the onion, garlic and pepper mixture and then strain juices through a fine strainer to remove any excess water!. Put back in food processor!.

Blend everything in the food processor, beginning with onions, peppers, and garlic, bread crumbs, eggs or flaxseed mixture and spices and then the beans last!.

Note: put a little oil on your hands when shaping the patties to prevent sticking!.

Divide mixture into four patties!. (Made them smaller, ended up with 6 and serve them with a "dipping sauce" salsa!.)

For Grilling: Freeze patties and grill them frozen!.

Directions
For grilling: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil!.!. Place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side!. If baking,

For Oven Baking: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet!. Place patties on cookie sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side!.
