Sandra Lee's Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients

  • 1/2 an onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 15-oz cans black beans, rinsed, drained and divided
  • 2 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup  bread crumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put the onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse a few times until chopped. Add one can of the black beans (rinsed and drained), cilantro, parsley, egg and red pepper. Pulse a few times so the beans are mashed but not totally smooth.
  •  Move this mix into a bowl, add the bread crumbs and the other can of drained and rinsed black beans.  Mix together, adding the salt and pepper to taste as you combine everything.
  • Preheat your grill and form the mixture into roughly 6 patties (or set aside however much you'd like for enchiladas or tacos).  Cook 3-4 minutes on a George Foreman grill.

Notes

This recipe makes enough for about 6 burgers or you can set some of the mixture aside and make black bean echiladas or tacos later if you need fewer burgers.
