Ok, the hubby and I thought this was very good. The kids, not as much, but that won't stop me from making it again. :) I did make a BIG mistake in the cooking though...I was rushing through the recipe and added the cooking oil (for the pan) to the bean mixture. Ending up with patties that weren't as firm as they should have been. Didn't affect the taste, just texture. I'll be more careful next time. :) Great Veggie dish though, very filling.
