$$$$ Spicy Black Bean Burgers $$$$
 

I love love love spicy black bean burgers. I just bought 4 patties for $5 though :eek:

Seriously, these things are black beans, veggies(corn, onion and peppers), bread crumbs and spices!!
ALL cheap ingredients!!


Has anyone ever tried to make their own? I found a recipe with over 1500 reviews. I'm going to attempt to make them this weekend :D

I want to try the pre-made ones first. It sounds good.

They really are delicious. I will post the recipe I found as well too. They claim they are head and shoulders above store bought. I hope so!!

I have tons of dried black beans...I wanna try the recipe for the burgers!!

"Spiced up with chili sauce, cumin, garlic and chili powder, these quick and easy black bean burgers will make you forget all about frozen, packaged veggie burgers. They're great on the grill or baked in the oven."
INGREDIENTS:
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained
and rinsed
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch
pieces
1/2 onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs
DIRECTIONS:
1. If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
3. In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
4. In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
5. Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.

So do I now too :yeahthat: :D:D

That recipe sounds easy and delicious!!!

I read through tons of the reviews. Big things I read were
to rinse and dry the beans
and to squeeze moisture out of veggies.
Possibly add more bread crumbs
and to freeze or partially freeze before cooking
to help the burgers hold their shape!

Only 1 tbsp cumin? OMG I put that ish on EVERYTHING!

I would (as always) tweak the spices. I double or triple what is called for in recipes calling for high amounts of beans, potatoes or tomatoes. Those items tend to really "need" it.

The reviews said the spice level could stand to be bumped up a bit too. My M.O. with burgers of any kind is to fry up a mini taster burger at different stages to see what the final product needs. Of course, I end up not being hungry for the final product that night :rolleyes: ;):D

These sound so good and easy to make..i am gonna try them :)

Thanks for the recipe! Definitely going to try it. I love black beans. I have a recipe for Brazilian Black Bean Stew that is awesome. One day when I have some time, I need to post it.

That sounds really good. I want to try it. I love the Morningstar spicy black bean burgers. They are so expensive though, I'll hardly ever buy them. Cook them with some onions in a little olive oil & a dab of sour cream. Mmmmm

Those are what I buy too. I'm sick of paying over a buck a burger for them though!

That sounds amazing, Linda!! I love anything with black beans!!
