I’m on day 17 of my month-long challenge to post everyday and unfortunately I have lost a few subscribers. I’m sure the daily email updates has something to do with that. :/
I wanted to first just apologize, I know it can be irritating to get constant updates from the same source and I completely understand if you need to unsubscribe for the month.
I just ask that you to subscribe back when this month is over as I return to more spread out posts and new updates.
I’m working on a very exciting project that I want to share with all my foodies and home cooks! I’m planning to have everything done by the end of March. I’m also working on food and cooking videos so that you can actually see exactly what I’m doing when I put together these recipes.
The videos will include the basics of how to do a roux, picking fruits and vegetables, and a video with my husband discussing food safety, storage and when to throw what away in the kitchen. He’s trained and certified through the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals so it’s some good info that you can trust!
For this 17th day of my month-long posts I’m bringing you a black bean burger without the burger. When I first made these my husband didn’t realize there was no meat until half-way through eating I gently broke the news, it didn’t faze him because it’s just that good.
On the other hand my son who is an avid bean protester had a few words, let me give you a play by-play of the conversation between son and mom!
SON: Mom did you put beans in this burger?
MOM: Why do you ask baby?
SON: Because there is a bean in my burger (while pointing at what looks like a bean in a burger)
MOM: Well actually… there is no burger in your beans.
SON: HUH?!?!
MOM: Laughing Hysterically
SON: Shrugs shoulders and continues to eat.
The “continues to eat” part is the proof that these burgers were delicious enough to not even miss the meat. My son is a talker, a debater, a wannabe preacher, teacher, boss! So the fact that he shut his mouth and continued to eat gave me the assurance that these burgers were kid tested and approved.
Here’s the recipe for you and your family to enjoy. This recipe yields about 10 burgers. Feel free to divide the recipe in half.
I make a lot because we eat a lot!
- 4 cups cooked black beans
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire
- Palm full chopped cilantro
- 10 Slices Cheddar Cheese
- In a food processor mix cooked beans for 1 minute on low speed.
- Transfer to big bowl and add the rest of ingredients except for cheese.
- Coat skillet with a little veggie oil. Heat to about 350.
- Form patties and cook on each side for about 5 minutes.
- Top with cheese and melt serve on or off bun with onion, tomato and any other fixin' you like.
- Feel free to split this recipe in half for less servings.
OMG, I am going to try this tonight! I saw this and now I’m hungry! That and we recently bought 10lbs of black beans (turning away from meat these days) and this looks good enough for the hubby!

I love them too! My main concern was the hubby liking them and they passed the test! Thanks Trina
I can’t wait to start seeing your videos! Sounds like you have a lot of awesome ones planned. What’s your channel name, so I can subscribe?
Thank you for reminding me I need to actually make a channel, lol! I’m going to post it soon as I do, thanks Monique!
I love black bean anything and especially black bean burgers. I recently went grain free and egg-free, so I’m going to have to figure out a way to make a burger without eggs and breadcrumbs, because I miss my bean burgers.

I want to go grain free as well. I’ve bought a bunch of different grain free flours, when I get some time I’ll start experimenting. For the egg that a tough one, it’s a great binder in this recipe but I’m sure it would work without it. Thanks Sonya!
