I took the best elements of all of the bean burgers recipes ive seen and made these great tasting and healthy burgers for myself the other night. I was greatly impressed by how they turned out and I hope you are too. This recipe is intended to make enough burgers to be frozen for later eating- experiment with the measurements to make a more individual sized recipe.

Categories     Black Beans

Time 35m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (32 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
1 (15 ounce) package breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (may use less if desired)
1 cup brown rice (prepared)

Steps:

  • Drain most or all of the can liquid from beans in a strainer and add kidney beans and black beans together in a blender. Mash on a high setting, pulsing to keep the mixture moving and circulating toward the blade. Let the bean mixture blend until there are only small amounts of whole or chopped beans in a mostly mashed medium.
  • Pour bean mixture into a large mixing bowl and beat in 2 large eggs. Add to this any spices, vegetables, or seasonings preferred. Garlic powder, salt, pepper, fresh lime juice, and a generous amount of chili powder are all very recommended. Corn could also be added at this point along with salsa or a similarly diced mixture. Add no more than 1 to 2 cups of salsa to prevent bean mixture from becoming too thin.
  • Add 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise and beat until fully mixed. Mayonnaise can be omitted as it is only included as extra flavor and fat.
  • Add in 1 cup of cooked Brown Rice- may use up to 2 cups if desired. Blend completely into bean mixture.
  • Slowly stir in package of bread crumbs; mixture will visibly thicken into a heavy paste when all bread crumbs are absorbed.
  • The mixture should be very bulky by this point and easily manipulated and rolled with the hands. If the mixture is too runny, add more bread crumbs. Grab handfuls of the bean mixture and press into patties of a medium thickness.
  • Servings vary depending on size of burgers- make more or make less- recommended that burgers not be too thick.
  • Fry bean burgers on a skillet or frying pan until crust browns slightly. Serve on buns and garnish with traditional burger garnishments.
  • These bean burgers freeze extremely well, store in airtight container. Before cooking frozen burgers defrost in microwave similarly to ground beef.

Tasty and extremly healthy bean burgers that combine the rich flavor of kidney beans with the meaty texture of black beans. Brown rice in the recipe is not only a healthy addition, but makes these firm and hearty patties. A PERFECT meat substitute- you wont notice the difference!

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 40m

Yield 28 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (32 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
2 (16 ounce) cans black beans
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (white may be substituted)
chili powder
garlic powder
onion powder
cumin
1 (15 ounce) package breadcrumbs

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.

Tips:

  • Soak the black Thai rice: Soaking the rice overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes it easier to digest.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor makes it easy to grind the rice and beans into a smooth mixture. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a mortar and pestle.
  • Add some vegetables: To make the burgers more nutritious, add some chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onions, to the mixture. You could also add some cooked quinoa or lentils.
  • Use a burger press: A burger press helps to form the burgers into uniform patties. If you don't have a burger press, you can use your hands to shape the burgers.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat helps to prevent them from burning on the outside while still cooking through on the inside. If the heat is too high, the burgers will burn on the outside before they have a chance to cook through.

Conclusion:

These kidney bean and black Thai rice burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, fiber, and other nutrients, and they are also easy to make. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give these burgers a try!
