Don't forget the Beano!

Last night, I made one of my and Stephen's favorite recipes for Stephen, Mom, Dad, Lee, E, and Aunty Lynn down the beach. It was a success!  Rave reviews (at least they said)!  Enjoy!

Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients:

1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 c. brown rice, cooked

1/2 medium onion, diced

2 egg whites, whisked

6 Tbsp. salsa

4 Tbsp. fat free sour cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray

4 whole wheat hamburger buns or sandwich thins

Instructions:

1.  Heat non-stick skillet over medium heat.

2.  In a large bowl, mash beans with a fork until they become a paste.

3.  Mix beans with rice, onions, egg whites, and 2 tablespoons of salsa.

4.  Divide mixture into 4 patties (they will be very loose).  Spray skillet with cooking spray.  Drop patties onto hot skillet.  Cook patties for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until firm.

5.  While patties are cooking, mix sour cream with remaining salsa to create sauce.

6.  Serve patties on buns topped with 1 1/2 tablespoons of sauce each.

Serves 4

Yum!  Sorry, forgot to take photos!  Next time!
