Nutritious and Incredibly Filling

Some times we just don't want meat. This dish gives the impression of meat without the meat. It looks like a real hamburger, cooks like real hamburger and tastes great.

It is impossible to eat more than one of these babies. The following recipe makes four servings that are high in protein, low in fat and yummy.

Some kitchen stuff you might need

Having an indoor grill makes cooking on the fly simple. It's great for hot sandwiches or grill meats for one or two people. We use ours at least once a week.

The Directions

Coarsely chop black beans with food processor (a pastry blender works in a pinch too). It should be chunky, not mushy. Add onions, egg and jalapenos.

In small bowl, mix bread crumbs with garlic powder and salt. Add to bean mixture and blend with spoon.

Shape mixture into four paddies. Apply to grill with your favorite barbecue sauce. I use an indoor grill with a preset temperature for ten minutes, turning after five.

Can also be done in pan on stove. I have not attempted cooking these on an outdoor grill as I'm not sure how well they would stay formed.

Tip:

Adding the egg is important. It keeps everything from falling apart when cooking.
