Ultimate Veggie Burger
The star here is a simple can of beans -- a protein-packed, earth-friendly, and nearly fat-free food. One note: These burgers hold their shape better if refrigerated before and/or after forming. But, if you're in a rush, no worries -- the flavor won't be affected if you skip the chilling.

Mixing in chopped mushrooms adds a wonderful earthy flavor and meatlike texture to your veggie burger. Button, cremini, Portobello, and shitake all work beautifully, so pick your favorite fungus, or use a combination.
