Beans, beans, good for your heart... We won't finish that little rhyme, but I do love beans. I use a lot of black beans in my meals lately because Jason's been looking to add more protein and fiber to his diet, and because they really are such a heart healthy food. They are an awesome substitute for meat in recipes, so they are perfect to keep on hand for Meatless Monday meals. I use them in my tacos, shepherd's pie, and casseroles all of the time. Now, with the weather starting to warm up, we are all probably looking forward to cookouts with our family and friends. This year I'll be skipping out on the burgers on the grill and will be opting to have these amazing Black Bean Patties that I found on Golden Blossom Honey instead.
Made with a combination of black beans and spices, this burger is tender but has quite a kick of flavor. The recipe does call for using canned black beans, but I used 2 cups of dry black beans that I cooked in my pressure cooker, though I am sure that either method will produce the same end result. Serve it up with some ketchup, mustard, sour cream or yogurt for a healthy, filling meal.

What are some of your favorite burger toppings?
Hooray for cooking the beans instead of using the canned poison :) Ewww on cumin, nom on scallions and garlic! Spring onions and radishes have arrived here too with early signs of spring and even tomatoes, which is the earliest I've ever seen them arrive, so I used the opportunity to buy them for my morning samiches!
ReplyDeleteI used to hate cumin, but grew to love it a few years ago when my sister-in-law seasoned our tacos with it for our Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Now, I have to use it every time I make tacos.
DeleteYay for seasonal veggies rolling back around!
They sure keep the system going strong, didn't want to fart and play along? lol Sounds like a good healthy meal too.
ReplyDeleteThose burgers sound really good. Beans are always a great choice for any sort of meat-like dish. Plus, they're full of protein.
ReplyDeleteI love black bean burgers, but have never made my own. I cannot wait to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteThose sound really good! I've never actually had a "burger" made with beans, but I imagine the flavor and texture of the beans lend themselves very well to being a burger.
ReplyDeleteThose do look great! I like mayo on my burger. I know not everyone likes it, but I do.
ReplyDeleteI really like black bean burgers. I have never made my own before though! I usually buy them.
ReplyDeleteI love black bean burgers. I love them almost as much as beef burgers. I'm a total carnivore, so that's saying something.
ReplyDeleteThese sound good. I have a friend that might like this recipe.

ReplyDeleteWe don't eat red meat and these look right up our alley! The honey sound amazing too!
ReplyDeleteI never had a black been burger before but this looks awesome! I have to try this recipe soon. It would be a good change to still have a burger but less the grease.
ReplyDeleteWe love beans here in this house, all kinds! I would love to try to make these black bean patties, i know it will be a hit.
ReplyDeleteWow these look so good. I haven't ever heard of Black Bean Patties before what a great idea. Get my kids eating this would be pretty awesome. - jeanine
ReplyDeleteI've never attempted making my own before. We love the ones we buy from the store.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how thick the patty is. Too often, vegetarian burgers will leave you wanting more.
ReplyDeleteI have tried black bean patties before. I actually think they are better than beef burgers. They have a little bit of a kick to them, and they are better for you!
ReplyDeleteHmm. Don't often do the veggie burgers, but I think my roomie would love these.
ReplyDeleteWe are eating less and less meat, so it's great to be able to mix it up. Need to try these black bean burgers. They sound yummy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know you could make patties out of beans! I would love to try this sometime!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely adding this to our veggie recipes! Thanks for sharing Theresa!!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fn of honey mustard. I didnt know it was in this brand!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of black beans, but that bean patty (haha - that just sounds funny) actually looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a black bean burger. I don't love beans in general but I do ok with black beans. I will have to try a burger one day.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I love healthy alternatives to my favorite food items. I think making this for the family will be great.
ReplyDeleteBlack beans are my fave!! I use them in tons of things. Never made bean burgers. I wonder if the kids would like 'em!
