I love veggie burgers, like behind sweet potatoes, they are probably my favorite thing to make. I typically just buy the pre-made frozen ones but was recently tempted to make my own from scratch. I have to say, for it being my first time, it turned out pretty dang good! Like any bean burger that you would probably get in a restaurant, it was tricky to keep it from falling apart. My trick was to cook it with a little coconut oil on both sides until it started to get pretty brown (not burnt).

For the beans, I just used simple canned beans that I rinsed before mashing. The nice part about this recipe is that it uses ingredients that you probably already have just laying around.
