- 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 egg
- ½ cup chopped sweet yellow onion
- ½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper (or not)
- 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 hamburger buns
- Additional burger toppings like sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, etc. as desired.
Instructions
- Place rinsed beans in a large bowl and mash well using a potato masher or a fork.
- Add the egg, onion, bell pepper, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, pepper and Sriracha. Blend, using your hands, until well combined. Shape mixture into six patties.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until each side is golden brown and cooked through. (8-10 minutes depending on the size of your patties).
- Transfer to buns and top with additional toppings as desired. (We topped each burger with extra Sriracha, which was delicious!). Serve hot.
