This recipe was killer!!! Not only is it super easy, but you can freeze them and use at a later date. The big key to making these burgers is to add lots of flavor, as black beans can be pretty bland on their own. This burger holds together pretty well, as I've found that a lot of homemade veggie burgers seem to fall apart when you eat them. Be warned, this recipe does have chipotle, which is spicy. I will sometimes add more than 1 tbsp, but the amount of spice is up to you.
1 can black beans
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 small onion
1/2 C mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C oats, coarsely ground
1 tbsp chipoltle seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
-Drain and rinse black beans. Place black beans in food processor or blender, and grind until the beans are somewhere between a coarse and smooth texture. Set beans aside.
-Dice onion and mushrooms. Heat skillet on stove, add olive oil. Add diced onion and mushrooms to skillet, cook until tender (approximately 2-3 minutes). Add garlic to skillet and stir into mushroom and onions. Take skillet off heat.
-Place onion, mushrooms and garlic in mixing bowl. Add black beans, oats, chipotle and salt. Mix all ingredients together. I used my hands, as it was easier to incorporate all the ingredients. If the mixture is a bit dry, add 1 tsp of water.
-Once ingredients are mixed together, form into patties. I normally get 3 or 4 patties from this recipe, depending on how big I make them.
-Cook burgers in a skillet with a small amount of olive oil so they don't stick to the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on either side, until the brown slightly.
These burgers can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. Some of our favorites are:
-caramelized onions
-avocado
-mushrooms
-vegan cheese
-lettuce
-tomatoes
And the list could really go on, and on, and on....
Enjoy!!!
