skye's blackbean meatless burger

• 1 cup blackbeans (drained and rinsed)
• 1/4 cup of your favorite breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 pinch (or more) of each onion powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper (these are the spices I use.. you can add to or swap out with your favorite spices)
• 2 tbsp light olive oil (to cook your "burgers")
• 1 couple tablespoons of your favorite shredded cheese to melt on top (optional)

1. divide your beans in half... and place 1/2 cup of them, and the minced garlic, in food processor and pulse for a minute.
2. in a medium bowl.. put the remaining beans, the beans from the food processor, breadcrumbs, egg and spices and mix well.
3. divide that mixture in half... and form two round patties.
4. heat your oil in a skillet or griddle on medium high heat and then add your patties.
5. cook them for 2 - 3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through (remember that there is an egg in there... and you do want your "burgers" to have a nice brown crispness on the outside).
6. when patties are done... sprinkle on your cheese, turn down the heat and cover.. it should only take a minute or so for the cheese to melt.
7. get out your favorite bun (I like a multigrain thin bun)... put on your favorite condiment (I take 2 tsp of light mayo and mix it with 1 tsp dijon mustard and a pinch of paprika.
8. .. for each burger)... top with tomatoes or lettuce or whatever you want.
9. cut in half... and enjoy... just yum!
10. this recipe is very easily doubled also to make 4 "burgers".
