    Black Bean Veggie Burgers
    1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
    1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
    1/2 onion, cut into wedges
    3 cloves garlic, peeled
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 tablespoon cumin
    1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
    1/2 cup bread crumbs
    Directions
    1.If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
    2.In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
    3.In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
    4.In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
    5.Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
    6.If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.

    I have used as a burger without bun and topped as I normally would or I crumble over lettuce, tomato, avocado and top with salsa, makes a great taco salad! I have also substituted the chili sauce with chopped jalapenos and actually make it only this way now.

    Definitely going to try these!!

    Hi MFP,

    1 can of whole kernel corn to the black beans
    1 - 2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil.
    3 - 4 oz of Lean Ground Turkey (cooked)
    Simmer
    Toss yourself a salad and its "on and popping" ;-). Good luck.

    These are a couple of my favorites:

    Chicken and Corn Chili

    Ingredients:
    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast
    halves
    1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    salt to taste
    ground black pepper to taste
    1 (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
    1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (I prefer black beans)
    (I also add a can of diced tomatoes, undrained)

    Directions:
    1. Place chicken and salsa in the slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 6 to 8 hours on Low setting.
    2. About 3 to 4 hours before you want to eat, shred the chicken with 2 forks. Return the meat to the pot, and continue cooking.
    3. Stir the corn and the pinto beans into the slow cooker. Simmer until ready to serve.

    (I usually just mix everything together and cook it all at once.)

    Really yummy as a chili!! Leftovers are even better, and it thickens up nicely to use in a tortilla. We eat this often.

    salt to taste

    Directions:
