I like these burgers topped with a little sour cream or plain yogurt. Matt mixed some hot sauce & mayo together for the top of his. Cheese would be great too. For a side dish we roasted a some cauliflower tossed in olive oil & salt at 400 F for about 30 minutes then served it with the Bacon Chipotle Sauce.
Black Bean Burgers
(adapted from Bon Appétit July 1995)
1 14oz can black beans, rinsed & drained
1/3 c red onion chopped
1/4 c bread crumbs
2 T Bacon Chipotle Sauce (or your favorite salsa)
1 t ground cumin
Smash the black beans with a fork or potato masher. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Form into 2 or 3 patties. Cook on a well oiled grill or griddle 3 minutes per side. The burgers should be warm through.
Serves 2 -3

Yum! I will be trying these. I love veggie burgers but only the ones that are not the fake meat kind.
Terrific, healthy idea! I once did a Portobello mushroom burger where the mushrooms were chopped up really tiny & mashed into patties w/ breadcrumbs, etc. My kiddo noticed that something was different about the burger, but he ate it anyways!
Black beans are a favorite meal for us, though usually in a saucy stew-like preparation. Although I've enjoyed Boca and other brands of veggie burgers, I would much rather make it fresh, as you've done here. Great recipe (I'm printing it out now!)
I never thought I would EVER say this, but I want the roasted cauliflower!
Love them! They look so perfect, and I love that your side was roasted cauliflower. What a great plate full of food!
it's so simple! i love that you don't require eggs and all that. it looks perfectly dense and hearty and delicious.
I actually do love a good veggie burger, not that crap they sell in the grocery stores.
This one looks meaty and seems to have a good amount of flavor too.
I've been looking for a great veggie burger. I can't wait to try this one.
Sounds great! I've been looking for a good veggie burger recipe. I found one with black beans recently, bought all the ingredients and never made them! Now I might try this one instead!
I made these burgers last night, but mine came out kind of mushy. Have you ever had that problem? Maybe I just didn't cook them long enough?
kmklietz - No, mine have never been particularly mushy, now they aren't as firm as a meat burger either. Perhaps you needed more bread crumbs or your salsa was thinner
i seriously adore black bean burgers, and i really appreciate the simplicity of this recipe!! a definite must-try. thank you!
It's great seeing less meat-centric recipes!
