Yesterday I had an
un-Godly craving for black bean burgers but the
first ones we made require red pepper which I did not have on hand. So what did I do? Give up and go hungry like a sucker? Make a trip to the store and prolong my hunger? Just omit the red pepper and make a shitty ass burger? Fuck no. I made me some makeshift black bean burgers that will knock your socks off. Seriously, these worked out very well for their rudimentary nature. I bet you can even make them without having to go to the corner market. Maybe. Let's begin:
Drain and rinse a can of black beans. Drain a 7oz can of pickled jalapenos with carrots and onion. Dice up contents as finely as possible. If you do not have pickled jalapenos
salsa will work just fine, but unless you have some serious brain damage on your hands you already figured that one out. Place in a large bowl with the black beans. Mush like crazy until it has turned into a thick paste.
Add 1/3c breadcrumbs, 1/3c whole wheat flour, 1/2 onion, and some salt and pepper. White flour can be
substituted for whole wheat flour but if you didn't already know that you have no business in the kitchen. So get out before you cause
irreparable damage. Stir until combined.
Form into four patties. You can cook directly from here but I tossed them in the fridge for a little bit to give them that extra firmness. "What if mine are really mushy?" Is this a hypothetical or did you really fuck up already? If your mixture is super mushy for some bizzare reason, just add some more breadcrumbs or flour. No big deal dumbass.
Over medium heat, cook for about 6 minutes per side. Once you flip them (seen above) toss on a slice of cheddar cheese so it has time to get all
melty. If you prefer, swiss would work quite nicely too. NO American cheese slices.
Serve on a toasty bun with mayo and spinach. Eat it.

I have a recipe for black bean burgers that I make fairly often, but I think yours looks better than mine - and a little simpler too. My recipe's a pain! I may have to try this one out...
Ok random question, but seems like you would know...I'm allergic to onions. Badly. (carrots too, but I like them too much so just eat them and suck it up). Are there any substitutes for onions that can be used for the same level/style/intensity of flavor? Recommendations or thoughts?
hrmm...what about the scallion? You might find that you are allergic to those too, however. In any case they are about the same, if not a little better.
@Kate...I try to make things simple :)
However right now I am making a freaking complicated ass mexican lasagna that should prove to be delicious.
MMMMMM looking forward to the mexican lasagna post asshole!
Trainwreck dude you might want to try substituting leeks and celery for onion. Wont give same flavor but it will give texture/mouth feel.
good call on the leeks and celery.
Yeah I am done with it but it is like 8 freaking pictures long so I have to wait for the little one to take a nap.
Thanks Brew Beer Bake Bread! I'll try it ;-)
