1/2 onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon thai chili sauce or hot sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1. if grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. if baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees f, and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. in a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
3. in a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
4. in a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
5. stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. divide mixture into four patties. place on baking sheet and refridgerate until ready to cook to help them hold together better. (i had mine in the fridge for about 1/2 of the day and they didn't fall apart)

I'll totally be making those this week. I tried making black bean burhers and they didnt turn out near as beautiful as yours. I'll have to give them a try
ooohh, let me know how they turn out, dani! i loved them!! i think the trick is refridgerating them.
So, I started to make some burgers out of a bean medley (black, pinto, pink, white and lentle) and was on my way, and Stacey mentioned you had this on here. I used some of your condiments, and the egg and bread crumbs. It turned out pretty good.
I also wanted to mention that on my mission we had office mandated "food storage", food for a couple days in case there was some serious problem, and it was called the "vaca flaca," after the skinny cows from the seven bad years in Joseph of Egypt's dream interpretation. So, that is that.
