USANA Black Bean Burgers

I recently tried this black bean burger and all I have to say is that is ROCKS. It's quick and easy to prepare. This recipe makes 4 good size burgers. I like a little more heat so I added a tad more of the chili powder. Try it out and let me know what you think. ENJOY!

Ingredients
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained in a colander
1/2 bell pepper, cut or town into 2 inch pieces
1/2 medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg, beaten
1/2 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons Fibergy Plus
1/2 cup bread crumbs, whole wheat preferably

Optional) Avocado slices, tomato slices, greens and/or sprouts

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mash black beans into a thick paste, leaving some chunks of beans for texture.

In a food processor (preferably), finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic; stir into mashed beans.

In a small bowl, stir together chili powder, cumin, salt and Fibergy.

Stir the egg and powder mixture into the mashed beans, then mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is well-combined and holds together.

Divide mixture into four patties, lightly grease the tops of the patties (if desired) and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Serve black bean patties on whole wheat buns with optional toppings, such as avocado slices, tomato, lettuce greens and/or sprouts.
