Black Bean Rice Burgers






Kristin and I made these years ago for lunch one day when we were together, we both loved them and I now make these for a dinner. -Sarah

15 oz. black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 T. salsa
cheese, if desired
  • Mash beans, add rice, onion, egg and salsa. Mix well.
  • Spoon mixture onto greased hot skillet in the shape of patties. Once they have cooked and are set enough, flip the patties over. Brown other side, they will firm up when they cook.
  • Season with salt and pepper while cooking. Top with cheese if desired.
*I serve these on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Or sometimes we mix sour cream and salsa together and serve them with that.
Makes 5-6 patties
