Slightly Spicy Black Bean Burger

[Allychristine]

Well, these didn't stay together very well (as per usual...for bean patties of mine..), but they tasted really great. We didn't care at all that they were quite fragile. I pureed the onion, added to the bowl, then pureed 1 cup of beans (home-cooked black bean mix-used 2 cups) at a time, then pureed one carrot. I wanted to use my mini food processor instead of the blender. I then added spices, and some homemade garlic bread crumbs. I ended up adding a lot more than 1/4 cup-probably like 1+ cup...but since mine were homemade..they were not really dry. I fried the first couple batches of these, and I'm going to bake the rest. Tasty!

These were SO good!!! I had run out of breadcrumbs so I used mashed up cheerios and wheat germ and it worked well. My one year old son even liked them! They did kind of fall apart a little bit toward the end of cooking, but i didn't mind

These were great! I folded in about 1/3 cup corn niblets into the mixture before forming into patties. I actually baked mine in the oven, and they turned out well. Sometimes I press these type of bean burger mixtures into a greased muffin tin and serve them with pineapple mango salsa.

I know that bean burger patties fall apart so easily! I discovered if you put the bean mixture in the freezer about 20 minutes before forming the patties it tends to help hold them together.

Just an idea, I tried these last night and topped them off with the Nutritional Yeast Queso Dip recipe that can be found on this site. They were SO good smothered in that sauce!

Mine came out really mushy

These burgers we really good. I changed up the recipe a little bit: i added a couple handfuls of rice, half a can of corn, an egg and upped the spices (adding quite a bit more cayenne pepper). If you eat eggs, try adding one to hold it together better (you might have to add some more bread crumbs/crushed soda crackers to dry it out a little more after)

I topped them with salsa, lettuce, and a little bit of grated cheese.

Anyways, I made them at my parents house who are pretty picky eaters most of the time, and they really enjoyed them. I made the rest the next night for my friend's veggie family and they went over very well.

Quite good these burgers. I put cayene pepper instead of chili powder. Even though it took time, I was able to do everything without a food processor. I just used a fork and a knife, and a spatula to flip the patties. The patties were indeed mushy but at least they held together until they were between the two buns, so great !
