Ingredients
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

- 4 hamburger rolls
Optional Toppings:
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 4 small Romaine lettuce leaves, or any other type you have on hand
- 1/4 cup ketchup
Directions
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-low heat.
In a food processor, pulse onion and garlic until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, cilantro, parsley, egg, and red pepper flakes and pulse to combine.
Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, add the remaining can of black beans and the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix until well combined.
Reserve 1/3 of the black bean mixture for Round 2 Recipe. Divide remaining mixture into 4 portions and form into patties. Place on hot oiled grill over medium-low heat and cook about 6 minutes a side or until heated through. Toast hamburger buns on a grill. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. Cover the burgers with the top of the bun and serve.
Use the leftovers from this recipe in Black Bean Enchiladas.

This is a solid base recipe, with many good elements. i changed a few things, most notably i added 2 Tablespoons of cumin to it, hand mashed the beans to add more texture, used kidney beans instead of black beans, and substituted corn starch for the egg. That substitution made the burgers more solid, but left something to be desired in taste, so with the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch i added 1/4 of a cup of milk. this made some awesome burgers that held together well. i served on an english muffin with mayo and hot sauce, with a little lettuce. all in all this is a solid recipe, but i feel like it is more of a base than a finished product; thats what makes it so great. for anyone who wants a healthy and cheap meal this is the way to go, and for people who want to get a bit creative and discover something great this is a perfect start point.
Thanks for the recipe Sandra Lee, i wish you all the best -Jonah

Love this!! I have made it several times and on occassion it falls apart, but I don't think the recipe is flawed. Sometimes the beans are wetter, bread crumbs are dryer etc, but the occassional crack doesn't prevent me from completely enjoying this burger! Thanks for the great recipe Sandra Lee!
