$$$$ Spicy Black Bean Burgers $$$$
 

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!!

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'm glad u got to try them!! I have dried black beans soaking now (because that is what I have...) I will be making them this weekend!!

I bought black beans & green peppers today ;) maybe we will try them tomorrow

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 :drool: :dribble:

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

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 :love: :love: :love: :love:

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!!

Ok I'm in. This sounds really good Lisa!

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!

umm....no I can't. But feel free to text me the variations. :cool:

I LOVE black beans - but they don't love me....they do terrible things to my bottom....:eek: :p :D x

You need to ass epazote to the water when you cook them. Supposed to remove the gas factor :D:D
