$$$$ Spicy Black Bean Burgers $$$$ - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jp4m2 · 05-17-2012, 12:00 PM

I've never had a black bean burger so I don't have a anything to compare these to but I did make these today and they are good. I wanted to test them so I took about 2 tbsp. out of the mix and made one tiny one in a skillet and I put the rest in the freezer. I like them so far. They should be very good an a grill too! It diffidently has the flavor of mexican food with the combination of beans and the cumin. Good recipe!

*I made them the way a poster did and used the food processor. But, I only used 1 1/2 tsp. of the cumin. I also did a couple of shakes of red pepper flakes to give it some heat. The processor worked out great.

I might be making mine tomorrow too ~ or for sure on Saturday!! I think I forgot frozen/canned corn tho.......not sure if it's even in the recipe LOL but I love corn in BB burgers

Even though I would normally use canned beans for this, I have a lot of dried black beans (Thanks Michelle

) so this is what I'm using.

They are in the crockpot as I type. I added water, onion, cumin, and a jalapeno to the cooking water. Oh! I'm going to go back and add garlic

Do you use whole kernel or cream style ?

I think whole kernel will be best because of the complaints about the burgers falling apart. Creamed corn would add too much moisture. I also plan to "wring out" my onions and peppers before adding to further reduce the moisture content.

I made the burgers today!!!! I am in

I made "as written" except added corn(about 1/2 of a bag of frozen) and used hot paprika in place of the chili powder to add a smokey note. I don't really measure so can't be sure, but I think I used closer to 3/4 cup bread crumbs. I used way more salt because I started with dried beans and added chipotle salt at the end for more of a smokey finish.

This recipe made closer to 10 ~ 12 burgers. My burgers were made using a palm sized ball of mix. I may have had more that one 16 ounce "can" worth of beans, though. I might add more than the 3 cloves of garlic next time.

This recipe is a keeper!!

They are delicious. You can change up the seasoning any way you like. Because of the black beans,Mexican spices work well. But u could also go Indian or Greek or Italian!
