Recipe: Black Bean Burger

This is a great, easy recipe that will keep you full for hours!


Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
1 stalk celery, chopped (I use mushrooms instead)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup eggbeater
1 tbsp cumin
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste (I don't use)

Directions
1. preheat oven to 375. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil
2. warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion and cook, stirring often until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute more.
3. Pour beans into a large bowl and use a fork or potato masher to mash into a thick paste. Scrape vegetables from skilled into bowl. Stir in egg, cumin, and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Use your fingers to form into 4 patties (do not overmix). Place patties on baking sheet and bake until firm and set, about 10 minutes on each side.

2 points each burger! You can also grill just don't overcook it.

  2. I would freeze them before you cook them. I think I have done that before. Just can't remember:)
