Augason Farms Black Bean Burger Mix Can, Certified Gluten Free, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals, 38 Servings

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.

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!

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.

First thing you will notice is that the mix dry smells great. However, when you rehydrate it there is a scent of what I can only describe as raw bean sprouts. I was a bit worried, but after pan frying the patties that dissipated. Overall prepared as a burger is tasted pretty good. If you are expecting the texture and taste of beef, you will be disappointed. This is a veggie burger folks, it in no way is trying to imitate a beef burger. For a veggie burger, its pretty tasty.

This is a delicious bean product, though a tad on the salty side. I guess I should have stocked up on it when it was less expensive ; $46 , the current Amazon price, is a high price for 2 lbs 14 oz of beans and spices. For $46, one could prepare a very large quantity of their own home made mix.

Great bargain for the price. Easy to make and tasty to eat. Convenient to have on hand. I also got the vegetable medley, and add a bit of that and some grated cheese to the mix before cooking, just to kick the flavor it up a notch how I like it. Highly recommend.

Great substitute when you are on a budget and can’t buy meat or poultry. I’m on a Keto diet, this veggie bean mix isn’t for those on keto because of the high carbs. So I can only eat a serving at a time, but I make it work by making veggie bean balls. These are bite size and doable. They taste great. They can be a bit salty, but I coat them in coconut oil then fry it in a pan with olive oil. It works for me.

But the taste isn't awful, very filling, great value

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!
