Black Bean Burgers

Ryan is the only on in our house that likes them, so I make them for him to take to work for lunch.


Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 onion, diced
**I did not have any onion, so I used 1 Cup of Westpac Seasoning Blend, it has onions, green peppers, red peppers, celery, and parsley. It can be found in the freezer section at the grocery store.

1-2 garlic cloves chopped
1 can black beans, well drained
1/2 cup flour
2 slices bread, crumbled
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
1/2 t seasoned salt
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying

Preparation:

Sautee the onions/onion mixture till soft, about 3-5 minutes.

In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth. Add sauteed onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a few tablespoons at a time to combine well. Mixture will be thick.

Form bean mixture into patties, approximately ½ inch thick and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm. Make veggie burgers and enjoy!
