Source: Sally's Baking Addiction | Serves: 3-4 | Time: 45 min

Changes: replaced egg with flax egg; used vegan Worcestershire sauce;

Ingredients

1 14 oz can black #beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry

1 tbsp EVO

Heaping 1/3 cup finely chopped bell pepper

1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

3/4 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Dash of smoked paprika

1/4 cup bread crumbs or oat flour

1/4 cup feta cheese (skip if vegan)

1 flax egg

1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp ketchup or BBQ sauce

S&P, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread beans evenly onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until slightly dried out. Increase heat to 375°F when finished.

Meanwhile, sauté olive oil, chopped pepper, onion, and garlic over medium heat until peppers and onions are soft, about 5-6 minutes. Gently blot some of the moisture out. Place in a large bowl or in a food processor with the remaining ingredients. Stir or pulse everything together, then add the black beans. Mash with a fork or pulse the mixture, leaving some larger chunks of beans.

Form into patties– about 1/3 cup of mixture in each.

Place patties on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes on each side, 20 minutes total. Serve on hamburger buns with favorite toppings.
