In a large bowl mash the beans (I used potato masher) till all smashed then add all the ingredients and mix thoroughly. It should be able to form a patty now, if not add a little more panko.

Using a half cup measuring cup or ring mold,press mixture in to form patties, you should get 6 to 8 from this batch.
4

You can put patties on wax paper and refrigerate up to 3 days at this point.
5

Preheat a nonstick skillet to medium/medium high heat and add a tablespoon of high smoke point oil like coconut or avocado.
6

Gently place the desired number of burgers in the pan. Cook for two minutes
7

Carefully flip burger and press with back of spatula with even pressure until burger is about 1/2 thick. Cook 4 to 5 minutes

Carefully turn burger again and continue cooking for another 4 minutes until browned on both sides and cooked thru.
