Black Bean Burger


Black Bean Burger

 Ingredients

    1 can black beans (drained and rinsed) 
    1 large egg 
    1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (easy to make - just blend whole wheat bread in a small chopper)
    1 clove garlic (minced) 
    1tsp chili powder 
    1/2 tsp salt
    1tsp pepper
    1tsp cayenne 

Directions


1. Mash beans in a large bowl with a fork.
2. Add chopped garlic, spices, and egg
3 Stir in bread crumbs gently 
4. Shape into 5 patties, you can refrigerate them if they are not very firm (up to one day ahead)
5. Cook in a hot skillet for @ 6 min. or bake in the oven for 15 minutes. 

You can mix in corn, diced peppers, or cheese in with the patty. 
Put on a healthy bun or pita add things toppings like you would on a hamburger. Just stay away from mayonnaise and miracle whip. Use hummus or blended cottage cheese with spices. (A blog will come soon telling you how to make dips and sauces with cottage cheese that tastes just like sour cream)  




Enjoy,
