Black Bean Burger
The first time I tasted a vegetarian burger was at Lenny’s. And I must say I didn’t miss the meat at all. I actually liked it a lot. Not to say that I am becoming a vegetarian, I still like meat. I figured it can’t be to hard to make one, and here is my version of a Black Bean Burger.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of dried black beans
- 1 tbsp chicken base
- 5 cups of water
- 1 egg
- ½ cup of bread crumbs
- 1 (4 oz) can of chiles
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp chili
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- ½ chopped onion
- hamburger buns
- mayo
- tomato
- pickles
- lettuce
- cheese of your choice
Instructions
- Rinse and wash the dried beans. Put them in your crock-pot, add 5 cups of water, 1 tbsp of chicken base and the package of seasoning what came with the dried beans. Cook on low for 12 hrs or high 6 hrs. After the beans are cooked I used 4 cups of the cooked beans. The rest you can use for something else like soup. If you don’t want to wait that long use 2 (14 oz) can black beans, but do rinse them
- Put the cooked beans in the food processor. Add to the smushed beans 1 egg, the breadcrumbs, chiles, cumin, chili, hot sauce and the chopped onion to the beans.
- Shape 6 patties, you can either grill them or fry them in a skillet. Remember you just have to brown them the beans are already cooked.
- Toast the hamburger buns, spread some mayo on the buns and top with the burger, cheese and the rest of toppings. You be surprised how good a vegetarian burger can be.
