Veggie Burgers

Ingredients:
2-15 oz. cans black beans
1/2 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs (We didn't have any and substituted whole wheat flour.)
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, grated or finely chopped
1 egg
1 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. cilantro, finely chopped

1. Mash the black beans. It's okay not to completely mash them, but you don't want too many whole beans.
2. Mix spices into the beans.
3. Add in the bell pepper, red onion, carrot, and egg. Mix well.
4. Form into patties, and cook on the stove or grill. On the stove, you will cook them in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat, turning when they have started to brown and become crisp (about 2 minutes per side). On the grill, you will want to put them on greased aluminum foil to make sure they stay intact. (These are SO good! They taste similar to the morning star brand spicy black bean burgers if you like those...)

Makes about 8-10 burgers. (recipe from here)
