The first and most important part of the recipe is the ingredients. You will need 1 can of black beans, half of a cup of mushrooms, 1 egg, and a fourth of a cup of flour. You can also include assorted vegetables, and these vegetables can be frozen and thawed, or they can come from a can. I like to use mixed vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, green beans, and peas. Corn is also a delicious addition to this recipe. If you use vegetable add an extra egg to the mixture, and if you use canned vegetables remember to press all of the water out of them.
Now that you have all of your ingredients ready pour the black beans into a bowl. Make sure to mash them up a little. This will add a smooth and creamy texture, and will provide something to help stick the beans together. Do not mash the beans all of the way because the lumps will keep a contrasting texture to the burger that is delicious. Dice the mushrooms and add them to the beans. Next mix the vegetables in and the eggs. Lightly mix until just combined, lastly add the flour. Sprinkle the flour in, and slowly mix until just combined.
Next shape the mixture into patties. I like to make larger burgers , but the size is up to you. Now you can coat the patties in flour or press them into some breadcrumbs. You do not have to bread the patties in anyway, but if you want a crispier outside add a slight coating. Lightly grease a pan and heat to medium. Fry the pan on each side for about 15 minutes. You can serve these burgers with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise or your can serve it with something more fun like avocado and onion.
These black bean burgers are so good even meat eaters will want to eat them. They are not only tasty, but they have nutritional value, and they are a cinch to make. Next time you are cooking for some vegetarians or feel like enjoying a nice vegetarian meal try these black bean burgers, and you will be glad you did.
