Finally, a Bean Burger

I've tried several Bean Burger recipes and they were all disasters, except this one. It's from the FatFreeVegan, and it was a huge hit last night; even Sabrina ate one and loved it. It seemed like a lot of onion, but it tasted great. Sorry, this is not raw, just all natural vegan.


1 yellow onion, quartered
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 cups cooked beans (any you like)
3 sundried tomatoes, soaked or 1 Tbs tomato paste
1/8 cup chopped red pepper, sweet
1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/8 tsp chilli powder (optional)
1/2 tsp salt (I'd like a little more)
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp thyme
1/8 cup ww flour

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place the onion and garlic in a food process and pulse to chop coarsely. Add the tomatos and red pepper and chop again. Add the beans and process until coarsely chopped. Add everything else and process until well blended-slightly chunkier than refried beans. Oil non-stick cookie sheet. Use a spoon to drop dough on cookie sheet into 6 mounds. Us a wet rubber spatula to flatten and shape into round patties. Bake 15 minutes. When bottoms are lightly brown, and starting to crisp, turn burgers and cook for 10-15 minutes, until brown. Don't overcook or they'll be more like bean chips. Enjoy, they are great and pretty easy too. What I like is that I'm getting Sabrina and Liv to eat onions, garlic, beans and rice all in one tasty burger. Rice and beans eaten together provides all of your essential amino acids with a lot less cholesterol than eggs. Hurray for Bean Burgers!!
