Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 cans (14 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup chopped bell pepper (red, yellow, orange, or green)
- 1 cup finely diced onion
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup feta cheese
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- toasted buns (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Drain and rinse the black beans. Lay them flat on a rimmed baking sheet. Partially dry them with a paper towel. Bake 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In the mean time, saute bell pepper, onion, and garlic in the olive oil over medium high heat until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Place peppers, onions, and garlic in bowl of food processor. Add remaining ingredients except the black beans, and pulse everything a couple times. Add black beans, pulse again and mix well, but leave a few larger pieces of beans.
- Form 1/3 cup of mixture into patties.
- Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place patties on sheet. Bake 10 minutes, flip, then bake 10 more minutes. Serve on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings or over a bed of lettuce. Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to sub out the spicy mustard for regular mustard, ketchup, sriracha, or barbecue sauce.
To toast your burger buns, set oven to broil, place lightly buttered buns on baking sheet, broil for 3-5 minutes until toasted to your liking. Watch the oven carefully as it's easy to "over broil" buns in the oven.
