Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Red Bean Serrano Burgers I've been in the mood for a new vegetarian burger lately. Bean burgers are pretty easy to make and can be varied by type of bean and veggies added to the mixture. This burger can be made with any canned bean (pintos or black beans would be excellent too). Wheat germ or oat bran can be subbed for part of (I would not replace all , though) the bread crumbs in this recipe. These patties hold together very well and can also be grilled. This recipe makes 6 bun-sized patties. Cook them all and freeze any leftovers. They can be be reheated in the microwave for a quick meal. I served the red bean serrano burgers with crispy oven fries. Red Bean Serrano Burgers 1 (15.5oz) can kidney beans, drained 3 T. freshly minced onion 1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and minced (jalapeno may be used instead) 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. ground cumin salt and pepper, to taste 2 T. barbecue sauce 1 egg 1/3 to 2/3 cup bread crumbs (a little more if needed) In a bowl, mash beans with a fork. Add minced onion, serrano, garlic, seasoning, barbecue sauce, and egg. Mix well. Add bread crumbs, enough so the mixture can be formed into patties that hold together. Take about a palm-ful amount of the mixture and form into a patty (form into a ball and then press down gently with fingers, turning to ensure evenness, to flatten). Repeat with remaining mixture. Fry patties in a small amount of oil or butter in a (cast-iron or other nonstick) skillet over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes on each side. Sliced cheese may be melted over the top.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sounds perfect! Thanks! Easy to make and cheaper than buying Morningstar---and a lot tastier too, I would imagine. I just made homemade BBQ sauce that I could use in this---- --- On Fri, 7/4/08, artichoke72x <artichoke72x wrote: artichoke72x <artichoke72x Red Bean Serrano Burgers (recipe) Friday, July 4, 2008, 3:49 PM Red Bean Serrano Burgers I've been in the mood for a new vegetarian burger lately.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hi Liudwih and Ellen, I hope y'all enjoy these burgers. They were super easy to put together. Liudwih, the serrano I had wasn't that spicy. It must have been one of those Texas Aggies mutant chiles. These would be good with jalapeno too. Ellen, I bet these would be excellent with homemade BBQ sauce. I used commercial and they are typically icky thick and sweet. Hope y'all are enjoying the holiday!
