Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g canned black beans
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 100 g cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sliced tomato
- 4 tbsp your favorite burger sauce
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Mash the beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some chunks remaining for texture.
Grate the cheddar cheese and add it to the bowl along with the breadcrumbs.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold its shape when pressed; if it's too wet, add a small amount of breadcrumbs. If it's too dry, add a splash of water.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a burger patty.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble each burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy beanburger patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of your favorite burger sauce. Top with the upper bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheesy Beanburgers!
