Black Bean Burger

A couple of weeks ago I met one of my friend's girlfriend. I found that she has a love for food and children! If you don't know me well, those are two of my biggest passions! When I am not working with children I am usually in my kitchen cooking! :)

Well this new friend of mine introduced me to a couple of recipes. I tried her black bean burger recipe tonight. It is super simple and has a kick to it. I served mine with salsa on top and the flavors went great together!

Black Bean Burger
1 (14 oz) can black beans
1 small onion
2 gloves garlic crushed (or 1/4 teaspoon minced or powdered garlic)
2 teaspoons cajan seasoning
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup egg substitute (or 1 egg)

Place onion and garlic into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add drained black beans to processor. Transfer the black bean mixture to a mixing bowl and add cajan seasoning, bread crumbs, and egg substitute. Mix together and shape into 4 patties.

You can grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or boil 10-12 minutes on each side. If you choose to broil the burgers, line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

I hope that you enjoy! Easy, yummy, and fast clean up!!
