Black Bean Burgers

Today I made black bean burgers to freeze. On days that I expect to need a quick dinner in the evening I'll take a package of them out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator to thaw while I'm at work. It only takes a few minutes to cook them when I get home.

Here is the recipe...


2 cans organic black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 T. McCormick Steak Seasoning (any variety)
3/4 cup organic bread crumbs (may need a little more if too sticky – depends on moisture content of salsa)
½ cup Salsa (I use spicy)
½ cup chopped Cilantro leaves

Put onions and black beans in food processor and pulse a few times to blend and lightly chop the beans. Add bread crumbs, steak seasoning, and salsa… pulse to blend slightly. Remove from food processor, add cilantro, and blend well by hand.

Makes 8 burgers.

To freeze – form patties, lay flat on plates or cookie sheet, and put in freezer. When the patties are frozen they can be put in freezer bags and returned to the freezer.
