Black bean burgers

These black bean burgers are so delicious. They are among my favorite burgers, ever. I make them so huge they are a meal in themselves, and I always make huge homemade rolls. But this goes really well with warm potato salad. I just boil some potatoes, and mix up some apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and finely diced onion, and add it to the hot potatoes. It's really nice on a cool evening.

Of course you can top your burgers with whatever you like. We do mayo, mustard, and lots of lettuce. Cheese would be good on these, and really anything you could think of. Tomato, red onion.....

Ingredients
1/2 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt and fresh ground black pepper

4 really nice rolls

Directions
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-low heat.

In a food processor, pulse onion and garlic until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, cilantro, parsley, egg, and red pepper flakes and pulse to combine. (I did not put this in the food processor, I just mashed one can of the beans, and then added everything finely chopped. I cannot be bothered with food processors.)

Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, add the remaining can of black beans and the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix until well combined.
Divide remaining mixture into 4 portions and form into patties. Place on hot oiled grill over medium-low heat and cook about 6 minutes a side or until heated through. Toast hamburger buns on a grill. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Top with favorite toppings. Cover the burgers with the top of the bun and serve.
