Step 1: Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 Can of Black Beans (drain off juice)

1 Egg

1/2 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs

1 Tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning

1 Tsp Cooking Oil (Olive, Grape Seed, or Vegetable Oil)

Salsa

1 Can Sliced Pineapple

French Fried Onions

Lettuce/Spinach (Optional)

Buns (Optional)

Step 2: Black Beans

Drain Black Beans from can. Discard drained liquid.

Mash black beans. A fork makes a fine mashing tool.

Step 3: Add Egg, Bread Crumbs, and Montreal Steak Seasoning

Add 1 Egg, 1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs, and 1 Tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning to mashed black beans.

Step 4: Form and Fry Black Bean Burger Patties

Combine and Form into Burger Patties.

Use 1 Tsp Cooking Oil (Olive, Grape Seed, or Vegetable Oil) or enough to keep patties from sticking to surface.

Fry at a medium heat for a few minutes on each side until excess moisture is gone from each side and the patties have a solid shape that holds. Do not use water to keep patties from sticking, because the patties will get mushy and fall apart.
