Easy Black Bean Burgers

Steps

1. 1Cook the onion and pepper: Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in cumin, chili powder, and Stone House Seasoning and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and scrape the onion mixture into a medium mixing bowl.
2. 2Make the black bean burger mixture: Pulse 2 cups of the black beans in a blender until the beans are chopped but not smooth. Add the chopped beans to the onion mixture along with the remainder of the whole beans, the Panko, the egg, cilantro, and cheese. Stir until well combined.
3. 3Form the patties: Scoop into 1/4 cup black bean patties and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat until all black bean cakes are formed, about 6. Wrap well with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight.
4. 4Cook the burgers: When ready to cook, drizzle olive oil into the large skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook black bean burgers until browned and heated throughout, about 5 minutes per side.
5. 5Assemble and serve: Assemble with avocado salsa or your favorite toppings and serve warm.
