Kidney and Black Bean Burgers are made with a group of favorite vegetables. It’s a big batch so you can have a party or freeze some patties for the future. All under 30 minutes.
The patties are made pretty thin and then pressed together firmly. You can have a double-double if you prefer but those are a little bit too much for me to eat.
A single patty with lettuce, red onion and condiments is good for me. Very good!
Black Beans are Protein Packed
- Unbelievably, a cup of black beans is 15g of protein. I repeat, 15 grams.
- Not only that, beans have lots of fiber.
- There are Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.
- NO cholesterol or sugar.
- 11 minerals including around 30% of your daily minimum requirements of magnesium.
- 7 vitamins and even more. Black Beans are good!
If you’re looking for a variety of sandwiches I have quite a few on my blog. Now I’m not sure which to show you! They’re so good.
Loaded Chickpea Salad Sandwich is really popular and who can resist a BBQ sandwich! The Vegan BBQ Chicken Sandwich will fix you right up.
This is a large recipe so you can freeze some of the burgers before they’re cooked for a fast lunch or dinner – whenever you want.
Twenty-one burgers all ready to go. What a treat!
Kidney and Black Bean Burgers
Ingredients
- 15 ounces black beans 1 can, drained, organic
- 15 ounces kidney beans 1 can, drained, organic
- 2 1/2 cups breadcrumbs – – I used 2 whole wheat hamburger buns, make sure this is not wheat and marked gluten free in you are on a gluten free diet
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup red onion – finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cup sunflower kernels
- 1/2 cup carrot – finely pulsed

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- oil for frying burger patties
Instructions
- Process the beans quickly (pulse) in a food processor so that they are still a bit chunky or mash with a potato masher..
- Process your bread for the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a skillet.
- Add the onion and carrot and saute for about 10 minutes.
- Mix the egg replacer and water and set aside.
- Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl.[
- Make into balls and place on a cookie sheet. I used an ice cream scoop to get them even in size.
- Put 6 on each cookie sheet.
- Space out the balls evenly and flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to make a patty.
- Freeze at this point or fry the amount of patties that you want.
- Fry the patties in a little bit of hot oil for 5 minutes on each side.
- Set aside for hamburger assembly and/or freezing.
