Healthy Low-Fat Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 1/2-2 tablespoons pureed onions (I prefer green onions)
• 1 cup black beans, well drained
• 1-3 tablespoon whole wheat flour
• 1 slice whole wheat bread, very well crumbled
• 1-1 1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
• salt and pepper
• oil (for frying)

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth (or puree with the onions).

2. 2

   Add onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is at your desired consistency.

3. 3

   Form bean mixture into flat patties and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm.

4. 4

   Serve topped with hummus or a Greek feta salad salad dressing, spread on a whole wheat bun. I tried these with the usual ketchup and they weren't nearly as good -- trust me.
