Quick and Easy Black Bean Burgers

Veggie Burger, black beans, vegan and gluten-free
Black Bean Burger with Salsa on Greens




I am swamped. Too much work, too little time.

Still, my family needs to eat. That was what motivated me to write Welcoming Kitchen: 200 Delicious Allergen and Gluten-free Vegan Recipes. I needed food that I could whip up quickly and simply that tasted good and was safe for anyone I was serving who had allergies or intolerances.

When I'm overwhelmed with deadlines, chores, and other time consumers, I pull out my little Welcoming Kitchen book and cook something from what I have in my pantry that will nourish my family.

These Black Bean Burgers fit that bill perfectly!

I shared this recipe with the Meatless Monday blog hop.


 Black Bean Burgers
 4 burgers
Ingredients:
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup prepared salsa
1/4 cup corn kernels (either fresh or frozen and thawed)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon oil (olive, canola, etc.)

Preparation:
Mash black beans with a potato masher or fork.  Mix in salsa, corn, onion, and cornmeal.  Form into 4 patties.
Heat oil in a skillet.  Cook burgers in hot pan, cooking 2-3 minutes per side.
Happy Cooking!

  5. I love the use of cornmeal in these burgers! I have a lovely black bean burger recipe but it is still not perfect as far as staying together during the whole devouring of it part...I am going to try a bit of cornmeal now. Thanks for sharing!
