Black Bean Goat Cheese Burger

These burgers have been a Diva Dish fan favorite for many years! It’s a great alternative to a meat burger as it is full and jam packed with flavor!

Although I had to re-vamp this post after it being several years old, this recipe still stands strong! It’s one of my favorite burgers and my husband and I enjoy it equally! The best way to eat this is to dress it up as you please, especially lots of guacamole ;).

Black Bean Goat Cheese Burgers

Ingredients:

1 Can black beans, rinsed and drained

2 TB. olive oil

1 bell pepper, chopped

1 yellow onion, chopped

4-5 garlic cloves, diced

1 egg

1 TB chili powder

1 TB cumin

Dash of hot sauce

3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

(Toppings)

Guacamole

Grilled red onions

etc.

Directions:

  1. In a sauce pan heated to a medium heat, add olive oil. Add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute until the vegetables are translucent, about 5-10 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Mash the black beans either with a potato masher or pulsed a few times in a food processor.

  3. In a separate bowl, add the beans, vegetables, egg, seasonings, hot sauce, and bread crumbs. Mix together. Crumble in the goat cheese and fold it together.

  4. Add parchment paper to a baking sheet. Form the batter into bean patties. This can yield 6-7 small burger patties.

  5. Bake in the oven at 350 for 25-35 minutes.

  6. Top burgers with desired toppings and enjoy!

  7. These can be refrigerated and reheated up to 3-4 days.
