Steps:
- In a food processor, blend black beans and kidney beans to a fine mash. It is alright if some bean chunks still remain solid.
- In a large mixing bowl, add to bean mash any desired spices. I strongly reccomend liberal amounts of chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. You might also add an adobo seasoning.
- Should you desire, you might add any kind of chopped or shredded vegetables at this point. From experience, I find salsa is a nice addition.
- Mix in 1.5 cups of cooked brown rice into bean mash and stir till even consistancy. Gradually fold in entire package bread crumbs- bean mash will visibly thicken, it is advisable to use your hands at this point.
- Grab small palmfulls of bean mix and flatten into burger sized patties. I generally find I make about 28 patties in one go- this is variable as yours may be smaller or larger.
- I freeze patties for weeks (months) at a time in an air-tight container or freezer bag.
- To cook- either bake in a toaster oven until exterior is crusty and crispy, or pan fry with a small amount of oil or cooking spray. These are very firm burgers and will hold up extremly well- better than any other bean burger ive seen!
- Dress your burgers with any number or great things- BBQ suace is a particular favorite.
- Also try crumbling cooked burgers and using the 'meat' as taco filling- tastes delicious especially with taco sauce.

BLACK BEAN BURGERS
Make semi-veganism work for you. Once a week, let bean burgers stand in for hamburgers, leave the meat out of your pasta sauce, make a risotto the likes of which you've probably never had - and you may just find yourself eating "better."

Tips:
- Use pre-cooked rice: This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to keep the burgers from becoming too mushy.
- Don't overmix the ingredients: Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Don't flip the burgers too often: Flipping them too often can make them dry and crumbly. Flip them only once, when the bottom is golden brown.
- Serve the burgers immediately: They are best when served fresh out of the pan.
