Help! My burgers keep falling apart - what am I doing wrong?

Don't worry, this happened to me too at first, The key is making sure your beans are well-drained (I pat them dry with a paper towel) and not over-mashing. If your mixture still seems too wet, add more breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds together when pressed.

Can I freeze the uncooked patties?

Yes, and I do this all the time for quick meals. Form the patties first, then freeze them individually on a baking sheet before transferring to a container with parchment between layers. They'll keep beautifully for 3 months - just add a couple extra minutes to the cooking time when you're ready to use them.
