Black Bean Burgers

These patties are well liked by my whole family.
I just put the whole mess in the food processor.

** I'll start with the allergy caveat, because, if you are like me, you get to the first few ingredients and say, "well, shoot! that won't work!". I used 1 cup of gluten free oats in place of the bread slices, and Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten free flour. I think the oats made them a little dry, I'll try cooked rice or quinoa next time in place of the bread.

Ingredients:
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 can black beans, well drained
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 slices bread, crumbled
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for frying
Preparation:
Sautee the onions till soft, about 3-5 minutes.
In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth. Add sauteed onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a few tablespoons at a time to combine well. Mixture will be thick.

Form bean mixture into patties, approximately ½ inch thick and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm. Make veggie burgers and enjoy!

**these fry up well, but fall apart on the grill.
