Easy Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (~15 oz) black beans, rinsed & spread on a paper towel to dry
  • 1/2 large red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp spicy mayonnaise
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread beans evenly onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly dried out.
  2. While beans bake, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté pepper, onion, and garlic until soft, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and cheese. Add onion mixture and stir to combine. Add eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and mayonnaise; stir until combined. Add dried beans and mash all ingredients together with a pastry cutter.
  4. Form mixture into 8 patties, using about 1/4 cup of mixture for each patty.
  5. Place patties on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with your favorite burger toppings!
