Anyone make their own Black Bean Burgers?

I made a batch of black bean burgers yesterday and I pan fried them in a little evoo. I couldn't get them to firm up as they stayed real mushy.
When I made the patties they were pretty firm (almost the consistency of a regular burger), then I chilled them in the freezer for a couple of hours just to firm them up a bit more. But as soon as I heated them up in the pan, they turned into a mush.
Beans were rinsed, drained and dried... I'm guessing it was the veggies (onions and peppers) that produced watered as they cooked and made them mushy? How would you stop that?
Anyone have any tips?

Problem is that the wife and kids don't drink and they wanted black bean burgers not black bean soup, which is basically what it turned into.

Sauté the vegetables first to get rid of most of the water then pat dry before incorporating. Add some breadcrumbs to absorb any liquid or even a tablespoon or two of flour. Add an egg as a binder.

Didn't sauté the veggies....I can see that making a huge difference.
I had mixed in some bread crumbs and an egg white into the mix and dusted them with flour.
But it's like I said, the texture was great when they hit the pan, they just turned to mush as they cooked which makes me believe it was the raw veggies watering as they cooked.
Thanks for the advice

Leave some of the beans whole to give it texture.

Make sure the pan is very hot when you drop the burger.
As other mentioned, possibly bake some of the veggies and make it a small dice.

For shits and giggles, I took the 2 leftover patties I had made and put them in the oven on some foil this morning just to see.
Came out perfectly firm, with a little crispiness to them but were a little dry....
So, better than the pan of bean soup I ended up with but not quite right. Night and day difference though!
