Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
- 4 slices, optional Cheese slices
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mustard
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly and place them in a large bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the beans until mostly smooth but leave some texture.
Add the cooked brown rice, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or using a toaster.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by the cooked bean patty.
Top each patty with a slice of cheese (if using), a slice or two of tomato, and a pickle slice.
Spread ketchup and mustard on the inside top half of the bun and place it on top of the assembled burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Classic Homemade Hamburger!
