This black bean burger is awesome! This is the first bean burger recipe that has been a success for me, so I am happy to be sharing it with you today. Not only is it really delicious, but it is way healthier than a beef hamburger with fries.

Print Vegan Black Bean Bacon Burger Prep Time: 45 minutes My Latest Videos Cook/Cool Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes Ingredients For the Patty 1 can rinsed black beans

1 small finely chopped onion

3-4 cloves minced garlic

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 Tbsp flour

1 Tbsp peanut butter

For the Toppings Veggie bacon or tempeh bacon

Tomato, onion, lettuce, avocado

1/2 Tbsp balsamic-dijon sauce Instructions Heat oven to 450º. Dry beans after rinsing on a paper towel. In a large bowl, combine ingredients to make the patties. You can also do this in a food processor (I normally would do this but my food processor stopped working as I was shooting this video). Chill patties in fridge for 30-45 minutes (or 15 minutes in freezer if you don't have time). Now is a good time to prepare toppings and fries. Bake patties and bacon for 20-30 minutes (I baked the fries at the same time). Assemble burgers and devour them. 3.1 http://veganfoodlover.com/vegan-black-bean-bacon-burger/ © VeganFoodLover.com

This beer from a local Texan brewery went great with our burgers and fries.
