Black Bean Burger
Okay...so the last time I experimented with a recipe I found on the internet, things did not turn out as well as anticipated. This time, I am giving this recipe a B+.

Black Bean Burger
Ingredients:
Chipotle Mayo
3 tbsp light mayonnais
1 tbsp canned chipotle in adobo sauce
Black Bean Burgers
16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped into tiny pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped into tiny pieces
1 jumbo egg
1 tbsp cumin
1/4 to 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp hot sauce
1/2 cup quick oat
8 slices of whole wheat bread
1 tspn of butter
4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
Directions
Seed the bell pepper and chop it up finely with the garlic. You can use a food processor instead. I just so happen to love to pretend I am Bobby Flay...
Rinse and dry the can of beans. Add them to the food processor. Alternatively, you can use a glass cup and smoosh them manually. That's a word, right?
Combine all the vegetables. Add the spices, eggs, oats, and hot sauce.
Form your patties, place them on freezer paper, and freeze for two hours.
Heat up a skillet, toss on the butter, and cook your black bean burger patties. Good luck flipping these suckers. What I found worked best was cooking each patty one by one, and when it came time to flipping them, flip them onto your freezer paper covered hand in order for them to keep their shape.
Toast the bread you plan on using. Mix the chipotle and mayonnaise. Spread on the bread. Layer the patty on top of the cheese and mayonnaise. Enjoy.
The main reason why I give this recipe a B+ is that I had to McGyver a way to flip them over without them falling apart. They are actually kind of tasty. Or as tasty as black bean burgers could be. They don't really look too appealing, but that's my fault. I have limited cooking skills. I only cook to remain alive. I am the legend that single handedly took out the entire family with food poisoning for one grand birthday feast. Mad cooking skills. You are welcome older sister.
If you decide to try these, please approach with an open mind. These are not whataburger replacements....and if a small woman innocently offers to share dinner with you please say yes. Remember she is not above sneezing in the containers you packed for lunch tomorrow.
