Ingredients:

 

1 cup of black beans (if canned, rinsed and drained)

1/4 cup flour and/or rolled oats

2 to 3 Tbsp any of your favorite bbq sauce 

- (or ketchup, mustard or some other sauce to help bind it together)

Optional 1/2 to 3/4 cup other veggies – like pre-cooked ciced onions, chopped mushrooms, 

corn, minced garlic, bell pepper, finely chopped steamed broccoli - lots of possibilities!

salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions:

 

Mash beans in a bowl with fork or potato masher. Once sufficiently smashed – add sauce, flour or oats 

and optional veggies.

 

Stir together until ingredients are well mixed. Add a little more sauce or flour as needed. Should be thick

enough to form patties in your hand.  Will be slightly sticky.

 

Place burgers in a lightly oiled pan on medium heat.  Let cook on one side 4 – 5 minutes. It’s ready 

to flip when you can easily free it from the pan with a spatula.

 

Once flipped, you can flatten your burger a bit more with your spatula now that this side is cooked 

and won’t stick to your spatula.   Cook an additional 4 – 5 minutes, flip again and 

cook another 2 – 3 minutes on each side.  Your burger should be slightly crispy on the outside

and heated through.

 

Makes 3 – 4 burgers, depending largely on the size of your patties and what other ingredients you add.

 

Topped with lettuce, tomato, dill pickle and mustard – any and all of your favorite burger toppings.  Enjoy!
