Our chefs are taking Meatless Mondays seriously with these oh-so-delicious Cajun-spiced bean patties. They’re super hearty with mashed red beans, Monterey Jack cheese, and scallions—cooked until golden brown and crispy—served on toasted brioche buns, then layered with pickles and slathered with our secret sauce. And we can’t forget about a veggie burger's BFF, a side of crispy carrot fries. Get ready to ask yourself, “Who needs meat, anyway?”

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots into sticks (like fries; ours were 3 inches long and 1⁄3-inch thick). Finely chop a few pickle slices until you have 2 tsp (4 tsp for 4 servings). (Save remaining pickle slices for serving.) Drain and rinse beans. Trim and mince scallions.
• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack until tender, 15-20 minutes.
• While carrots roast, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickle, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and as much hot sauce as you like.
• Meanwhile, place half the beans (all for 4 servings) in a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth. (It’s OK if there are still some larger pieces.) • Stir in Monterey Jack, scallions, garlic powder, Cajun Spice Blend, ¾ of the tempura batter mix, and 3 TBSP water until thoroughly combined. (For 4, use all the tempura batter mix and ¼ cup water.) Season with salt (we used ¼ tsp; ½ tsp for 4) and pepper. • Divide bean mixture into two mounds (four mounds for 4).
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Using a rubber spatula, add bean mixture mounds to pan and gently press to flatten into patties, each about as wide as a burger bun. • Cook until golden brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a plate. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches, adding another drizzle of oil before each batch.
• Halve and toast buns until golden; spread cut sides with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Spread bottom buns with up to half the secret sauce. Fill buns with patties and as much sliced pickle as you like. • Divide sandwiches between plates. Serve with carrot fries and remaining secret sauce on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I love the bean burgers so much. They're so tasty and easy to add whatever spices I want to change up the flavor
Best veggie burger I've ever had! I do wish there was more sauce! Another Mayo packet would have been a huge help.
The best burger I've ever had. Don't change a thing. The sauce and pickles makes it everything.
This was such a winner, we're new to vegetarian food and this was one of our first make-your-own alternative-burger recipes, and it was delicious!
These were delicious! This is the first time I saw them as a possible meal choice, and I hope that they come back as an option in the future.
This is one of the best meals we've had! Everything was savory and delicious. This is soooo good.
Very good. Cooked low and slow. They cooked better and help their shape better than others we have made in the past.
Liked this one, but I would recommend changing your recipe up a bit. The patties ended up having a very mushy texture. Try adding rice and bread crumbs (like panko) to improve the texture.
That was a very different and unique burger! Plz note in instructions whether or not you drain and rinse the beans.
Rather have fries with the carrots and lettuce and tomato and onion, along with the burger. I didn't even miss the meat because it was that good. Will purchase again.
