Categories     Bean     Sandwich     Summer     Dinner     Lunch     Bake     Vegetarian

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cans black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (1/2 of a pepper)
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion (1/2 of a large onion)
3 cloves garlic cloves, minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup bread crumbs or oat flour
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 pieces large eggs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup, mayo, or BBQ sauce
1 pinch salt + pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spread beans evenly onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until slightly dried out.
  • Meanwhile, sauté olive oil, chopped pepper, onion, and garlic over medium heat until peppers and onions are soft, about 5-6 minutes. Gently blot some of the moisture out. Place in a large bowl or in a food processor with the remaining ingredients (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, worcestershire, ketchup, salt, and pepper). Stir or pulse everything together, then add the black beans. Mash with a fork or pulse the mixture, leaving some larger chunks of beans.
  • Form into patties- about 1/3 cup of mixture in each.
  • To bake: Place patties on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (191°C) for 10 minutes on each side, 20 minutes total. To grill: Place patties on greased aluminum foil and grill 8 minutes on each side. Heat temperature is personal preference as all grills differ. Generally, black bean burgers should grill on medium-high heat about 350°F (177°C) - 400°F (204°C).
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing Instructions: Cooked or uncooked black bean burgers freeze wonderfully for up to 3 months. Stack between parchment paper in a freezer container or zipped-top bag. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat to your liking or, if uncooked, cook according to instructions. If desired, you can skip thawing and reheat/cook from frozen for an extra couple minutes.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some avocado or salsa.

These burgers were a great way to use up some leftover black beans. They were also a nice change from the usual beef burgers.
