Spicy Blackbean Burgers

Made this recipe a while back- from Pinterest. Meagan came over and we tried this! I actually really liked it!

Spicy Black Bean Burgers


1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 jalepeno, seeded and chopped
3 garlic cloves
1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained
1/2 C plus 2 Tbs rolled oats
3/4 C yellow corn kernels
1 green onion, thinly slices
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste

burger buns and any additional toppings (sprouts/tomatoes/avocado/cheese/lettuce)

1. Mash together onion, jalepeno, garlic, beans, oats, corn, green onion, cumin, curry powder, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper. (or you can use a food processor)

2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

3. Remove chilled mixture from refrigerator. If mixture not firm enough to form patties, add 1/2 C breadcrumbs. (We didn't need them). Pat into 4 equal patties.

4. Cook patties in skillet sprayed with non stick spray over medium heat. 5-7 minutes per side or until a crust develops.

5. Remove patties from heat and place onto buns. Assemble with toppings and condiments of your choice.
