I used to give my friend Nicole crap for choosing to eat a black
bean burger over a real meat hamburger. I never thought I
would try one let alone like it, but man did I eat my words. These
burgers were actually really good and dare I say that I might
like them better than beef hamburgers.

Ingredients:
.
Two 14.5 oz cans seasoned black beans, drained
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated white onion
1 large egg
½ tsp chili powder, more to taste
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Several dashes of hot sauce, such as
Cholula, plus more for serving
2 tbsp olive oil, for frying
2 tbsp butter, for frying, plus more fro grilling the buns
8 slices Swiss cheese (or any cheese you’d like)
4 kaiser rolls or good hamburger buns
Mayonnaise, for serving
Lettuce, red onion, sliced tomato, for serving
.
Steps:
.
1.) Place the beans in a medium bowl and mash them with a
fork until they are mostly broken up, but with
a few large pieces still visible.
.
2.) Pour in the breadcrumbs. Then add the grated onion, egg, chili
powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
.
3.) Stir the mixture around until everything is combined, then
add the hot sauce and stir it in. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
.
4.) Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Form
the bean mixture into 4 equal-size patties that are a little larger in
circumference than the burger buns.
.
5.) Cook the patties for 5 minutes on the first side, or until nicely
browned, then flip them to the other side.
.
6.) Place 3 slices of cheese on each patty and cook for 5 minutes
more, or until the burgers are thoroughly heated through.
.
7.) Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat and butter
the surface. Split the buns and grill them until golden brown on the surface.
.
8.) To serve, spread a mixture of mayonnaise and hot
sauce on both sides of the bun.
