Black Bean Burgers

[robear]

So for the past two weeks I've been learning to make Black Bean Burgers and they are really good, this how I do it,<br><br>1 can black beans<br>1 cup cooked rice<br>2 tablespoons flour<br>1 small onion<br>4 slices of cheese<br>buns, lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc<br><br>makes 4 burgers, fry in a splash of olive oil<br><br>mash drained can of beans with potato masher,<br>add onion diced and rice, mash more (I like to add a splach of olive oil and garlic power)<br>now add about 2 tablespoons of flour and stir. (this is the trick to make the burgers stay together so you can flip them)<br>drop 4 burgers in pan &amp; mold to liking &amp; brown both sides and add cheese to melt on top.<br><br>The first time they might fall a part when you flip them, but you will learn how much flour to add.<br><br>Try different seasonings, I found that a tablespoon of powered ranch dressing adds some zip <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp; <br><br>Enjoy <br><br>

I have been wanting to try this and totally let it slip my mind. I've seen pics and they look&nbsp;delicious!&nbsp;

I think they sell mashed black beans already by way of refried black beans. That would save a step here, but this looks real good. Can't wait to try it out.<div><br></div>

<br><br>&nbsp;We bought refried black beans the last couple of times instead of the regular kind. They're really good - much more flavorful. I've been wanting to try making bean burgers too. It seems like a lot more salt has been added to the already made veggie burgers. They're almost in-eatable. Thanks the recipe review!<br>

I've been cooking my own beans because you get so much more from a dry pound of beans and no salt, but I shaired this with a "can" of beans to help make it easy for people <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"><br>In fact I'm having them tonight!<br><br><br>

Sounds great. Just wondering if you have or can you use brown rice for this&nbsp;recipe?&nbsp;

This sounds wonderful, robear!<div><br></div><div>No reason, at all why you wouldn't be able to substitute brown rice.<br><div><br></div><div>an egg added to the mixture would serve as glue and keep them from falling a part. Because of the extra moisture you may need to add more flour or rice.</div></div>

<br>Yes you can use brown rice, I have.<br>Last night I cooked my brown rice with a beef bullion cube, and thought it was good.<br>

<br>It's funny you write about adding an egg, as the first recipe I had called for an egg and they would brake when I tried flipping them, then I found another recipe that had no egg and used a little flour and that did the trick, try it both ways and post how it works for you.<br>
