Augason Farms Black Bean Burger Mix Can

I had a box of unknown brand bean mix on the shelf for must be 20 years. I almost pitched it, but decided to open the box. Contents looked good, smelled good, and directions only called for water, so nothing to lose to try to prepare!! Well, I was amazed. Having eaten those burgers, I purchased this can of black bean burger mix on Amazon. It is economical (about 40 cents a burger). It is also very versatile. I do recommend adding egg and bread crumbs to make a burger that stays together better, but otherwise these are perfect meals and perfect for emergency prep with long shelf life. And as far as emergency food, it is a plus that you only NEED water to have a decent nutritious meal. I also experimented with other uses. I recently mixed 1/2 cup of prepared bean mix with about 1/2 pound ground beef and egg and about 1/4 cup bread crumbs and made 4 HUGE burger patties - half bean and half beef. They were almost not distinguishable from a traditional quarter pounder. Could also mix in some chopped mushrooms. Totally delicious on a toasted bun with cheese and condiments. Half the calories and half the cost of a regular burger. I see great advantage to this mixture of bean and beef. Tonight I am using another 1/2 cup prepared bean mix plus 1/2 pound ground beef to make an Italian noodle casserole calling for browned ground beef crumbles, pepper, onion, mushroom, macaroni and tomato soup with cheese melted on top. Will see how the bean/beef mix performs in a casserole prep. I will continue to experiment with new uses for this. Very tasty, easy to use, economical. I will be buying this again for sure and highly recommend.

Great! So delicious !a little too salty on its own I used less mixed with rice and veggies and it was perfect

10.6.25~ Been "thinking" about trying this bean burger mix forever. But you know.. powdered food (how good can it be?) Oh so good that after ordering the pouch (finally) jumped in with both feet on the tin. I'd love to offer you some great tips but really Auguson has done it all for us. I take a pile of this great dehydrated veg & bean mix (more like onion soup than pancake mix)~ Add water and stir til it looks about the texture I'd want a burger, then pan fry no oil. Slider-sized burgers or falafel balls are best. Large burgers need a lid before flip to cook middle. The mix turns kind of reddish like real burgers or Beyond patties. The texture and plop of the patty is like a real burger. The crispy bottom is like a real burger. As someone whose been plant-based for a while it's nice to have options. This mix is so easy~I can be starving searching for food one minute~ and have a hot meal the next. So tasty it's as good my homemade ones without the chopping and mashing prep. Now I did pour the tin into a gallon ziploc, which it almost filled up. The lid is not airtight and the tin takes up a lot of limited cabinet space. Plus you can see all the ready to be devoured goodness. Click away with confidence my friends. These are deee-licious with pickles mayo and piles of onion on a bun. Or with a dollop of greek yogurt & avocado salsa over rice. Cheers & enjoy!

Good and easy. A bit on the salty side.

This is part of my everyday pantry and my Zombie Apocalypse long term storage plan … yes I also have chickens! You have to acquire a taste for this if you're expecting it to taste like a juicy all beef hamburger. It does not. It is very appealing in that it requires zero refrigeration even after opening. This is a highly seasoned vegetable substitute than when mixed with real beef will stretch your meat by 2-3 times for much less money. By the time I rehydrate it the cost is less than 2 dollars a pound so that’s a real win. You need to make the burgers thinner and watch the heat on them or they will crisp. I typically add a touch of oil to my pan if I’m trying to make a burger with this. They make great sliders or mix for soups , casseroles etc. I will be keeping quite a lot of this product eventually . It does not crumble they way beef would so keep this in mind. I am not a vegetarian but I am passionate about self-reliance under any conditions so this product makes me very happy. The people at Augason Farms are fantastic to speak with if you ever need any further information. They are not currently shipping directly because their demand is so very high. This product was originally made in a highly religious agricultural community that wanted a method of preparing for hard times and going to the store less frequently. It was life changing for me when I had surgeries during Covid. I highly recommend this product and most Augason Farms products. My only warning is to watch prices very closely because they change rapidly. I now have 4 years of daily data on several sites and it’s been an amazing process to watch the escalation of pricing as well as the discontinuation of some of the best products ever to be made by them. Their taco mix was superlative and hopefully will be brought back as it is better than good. If you talk to Augason let them know!!!

I love this stuff. I do customize it considerably; add onions and bell pepper, egg, nutritional yeast, seeds, sometimes packaged tuna/salmon. I make up a dozens patties, fry and freeze them.

I really didn't think I'd like this. But it is actually really good and full of flavor. The sodium is a little high, but I just follow it up with tons of water. If you mix it well, follow the instructions and let it rest for 15 minutes BEFORE cooking, the burgers will come out great. I added some cooked Spinach and Onions to the mix before cooking it. One persons review said they added a fried egg over top. I did the same thing and added some Haitian Pikliz on top...... DELICIOUS. For the kiddos, I just added Provolone Cheese and a little Ranch Dressing, placed the patties over a salad, and they loved it. The Hubster wanted his with Tuna Salad and cucumber slices.. It really is great for a quick meal at lunch time. I say try it. In NYC a Bean Burger is $12. You can make over 35. burgers from this can.

This is one of the tastiest veggie burgers I had ever tried and it can be stored for a long time when you open the top correctly. I opened it the wrong way so it needs to be stored in the fridge, but still it has not lost its flavor. I am a veggie burger eater, so this is PERFECT! I make thick burgers with this so I can have 19 to 25 burgers... still cheaper than buying the already made veggie burgers from other brands. I do 1/2 cup veggie mix and 1/4 up of water to make thick veggie burger instead of two smaller burgers. It is filling and my body took it well.One day I will try it in the air fryer to test it. I cooked with oil which is so messy for me. I am so looking forward to buying another can next month. This is perfect for individuals with autism who are vegetarians. Easy to make and with air fryer easy to cook. I am going to try to cook one later on using the air fryer to see how it takes to it. The taste is great and it is easy on the stomach, which is something the autistic tends to have stomach issues and vegetarianism is a life savor... in so many aspects. Less mess to clean up, no nasty smells, the texture is easy going, and it is just cleaner all throughout.

Excelente servicio y pienso comprar más productos de esta calidad Gracias 🙏

Trying to keep a store cupboard for future use is harder when you dont eat wheat and are veggie. The reviews for those trying them was good so i have brought one 'just in case' for the future. This make in the UK is not that cheap and although i would like to buy other products cost would stop me on most of them, however i did work out how much each burger would roughly cost and decided it wasnt to bad so took the plunge. Came reasonably quickly and well packaged, now sitting in my store cupboard for the future! The 4 star is for what i got, cant give 5 as havent tried it, if i open now will defeat the purpose. Just hoping when i use it they taste as good as they say!
