Classic Recipe of The Day: Black Bean Hamburgers
Today is national
Cheeseburger Day. We know that many people out there are cutting meat, especially
red meat out of their diets and we didn’t want anyone to feel left out on such
a glorious holiday. All across the Nation, the Hamburger is finding itself as
the shining star on the menu once again and not much could please us more than
that (ok some Peace on Earth might be nice, but we wont hold our breath.)
This recipe uses black
beans instead of the typical beef or turkey and a few dashes of some good ol
Tabasco to pull it together. Lately we have been omitting the Tabasco and using
a really spicy island blend we found while traveling in St. Maarten so if you
would like to really change up the flavors and spice levels of things, try out
your favorite sauce and make this recipe your own, no one says these things are
written in stone somewhere.
Enjoy National
Cheeseburger Day!
Ingredients:
2 (14oz) Cans Black
Beans (drained)
3 TBS Mayonnaise
1 tsp Kosher Salt
½ Cup Bread Crumbs
(this recipe uses roasted garlic)
2 tsp Ground Cumin
½ tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
2 TBS TABASCO, Original Red
2 TBS TABASCO, Original Red
¼ cup Finely Chopped
Cilantro
3 TBS Vegetable Oil
4 Hamburger Buns
(these are great on a toasted onion bun)
Sides usually include:
Sour Cream, Salsa, Lettuce, Sliced Tomatoes & mustard
Directions:
Place One can of beans in
a food processor with the mayo, bread crumbs, cumin, oregano, cayenne, TABASCO and Kosher salt.
Pulse a few times until a coarse puree forms.
Transfer the puree to a bowl and stir in the Cilantro and remaining can of beans.
Form mixture into 4 patties and
place on a plate covered with saran wrap in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium / high
heat.
Cook the burgers until the outsides are browned, turning
once about 5 - 8 mins total.
Garnish with whatever you like even double stack the patties
and make it a black bean double double, animal style.
Serve on toasted buns.
As with all of our recipes, cooking times vary from kitchen
to kitchen and person to person.

National Cheeseburger Day / The Supreme Plate Turkey Burger
Today is National Cheeseburger Day and we recently sent out a tweet letting people know just what it was. Instantly we got a few hits for our Supreme Turkey Burger recipe so we knew we had to share it with the people. This recipe is an adaptation from our classic Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe, only in this recipe instead of BBQ sauce we use ketchup so as to not overpower the delicious flavors of the ground turkey.
The key to this one is not overcooking the burger, leaving you with something tougher than your great granddaddies elbows.
Enjoy this one quickly and often because on top of tasting really good, it is actually pretty healthy for you.
