Black Bean Burger

Ingredients

  • 2 cans 14,5 oz black beans
  • 1 cup italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup white onion grated
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Ranch House Cheeky Chilli Peri Peri Sauce
  • 8 slices swiss cheese
  • Oil
  • Butter
  • 4 whole hamburger buns
  • Mayonnaise
  • Lettuce Or Other Greens
  • Sliced Tomato
  • 1 red onion

Instructions

  1. Drain, but do not rinse, the black beans. Place them in a bowl and use a fork to mash them. Keep mashing until they're mostly broken up, but still have some whole beans visible. Add the breadcrumbs, onion, egg, chili powder, salt, pepper, and peri peri sauce. Stir until everything is combined, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil with an equal amount of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Form the bean mixture into patties.
  3. Place the patties in the skillet and cook them about 5 minutes on the first side. Flip them to the other side, place 2 slices of cheese onto each patty, and continue cooking them for another 5 minutes, or until the burgers are heated through.
  4. Grill the buns on a griddle with a little butter until golden. Spread the buns with mayonnaise and hot sauce, then place the patties on the buns. Top with lettuce, onion and tomato, then pop on the lids!
