Homemade Black Bean Burgers

What do we need:

• 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 1/2 onion, cut into wedges
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 egg, beated
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
• 1/2-2 cups bread crumbs

Steps：

• Smash black beans with a fork until they make a thick paste (we like to keep a few bean chunks).
• Add bell peppers, onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until chopped finely, it will be watery/pastey.
• Mix into beans as well as remaining ingredients.
• You may need to add more or less breadcrumbs depending on humidity, water content of peppers, etc.
• Start with 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup at a time until texture will hold together well.
• Form into patties. Makes 8 patties.
• Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or grill on an oiled grill for 5 minutes per side.
