Pioneer Woman Black Bean Burgers Recipe
The Pioneer Woman's black bean burgers are so good, I don’t even miss the meat!The key to keeping them from falling apart is mashing about half the beans while leaving some whole for texture.A mix of spices, breadcrumbs, and an egg helps hold everything together while adding tons of flavor.I always let the patties rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking so they firm up.Pan-frying them gives a crispy crust that makes every bite even better.
Ingredients
- 2 cans Black Beans 15 oz. each
- 1 cup Seasoned Breadcrumbs
- 1 Small Zucchini grated
- 1 Medium Carrot grated
- 1/4 cup Grated Onion
- 1 Whole Egg
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Hot Sauce optional
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the black beans.
- Place them in a large bowl and use a fork to mash them lightly until they form a chunky consistency.
- Add the seasoned breadcrumbs, grated zucchini, carrot, onion, whole egg, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything together until it's evenly combined.
- Shape the mixture into patties that hold together well.
- You should get about four to six patties, depending on your preferred size.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
- Once the oil is shimmering, place the patties in the skillet and cook them for about four to five minutes on each side until they’re browned.
- If desired, add a slice of Swiss cheese to each burger after flipping.
- Invert a second skillet over them for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
