Jalapeno-Red Bean-BBQ Burgers

Recipe #88294 | 31 min | 25 min prep | add private note

Moist, delicious vegetarian alternative to boring frozen veggie burgers. These are easy to make and taste wonderful on whole-grain buns with some cheddar cheese, tomato and lettuce for crunch. Be watchful while cooking these ... the sugar content in the barbecue sauce can cause the burgers to blacken kind of quickly. Tastes great on the grill, too ... just keep an eye on them!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped and seeded plum tomato
  • 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno chile, more if you like or serrano pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed,well drained
  • 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (I like homemade or Uncle Dougie's, a brand out of Barrington, IL)
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • 4 whole grain buns, toasted

Toppings

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Add next onion, plum tomato, jalapeno, garlic and chili powder; sauté 5 minutes.
  3. 3
    Cool slightly.
  4. 4
    Using fork, coarsely mash beans in bowl.
  5. 5
    Combine with onion mixture, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce and egg white.
  6. 6
    Shape mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
  7. 7
    (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) It will look as though these little burgers will just fall apart and turn to mush, but they stay together really well once they"hit the pan"!
  8. 8
    If grilling, oil the rack or spray grill rack with nonstick spray, then fire up coals to medium heat.
  9. 9
    If pan-frying, heat a little olive oil over medium heat.
  10. 10
    Place patties on grill or in skillet and cook until golden brown and heated through, about three minutes per side.
  11. 11
    Place burgers on buns.
  12. 12
    Serve with more barbecue sauce, and cheese, tomato, lettuce, avocado, or whatever topping you like!

These are great! We cooked ours at a pretty low temp in the skillet, and while they were a bit of a sloppy mess before cooking, they were just fine afterwards. We followed other reviewer's recommendations and used a whole egg and some oatmeal to help it all stick together.

    This was yummy! I followed the directions except that I used black beans instead of kidney beans due to a personal preference and added 1 Tbs of chopped green bell pepper. I thought that these had a very good flavor and loved the addition of barbecue sauce in the recipe, you can really taste it! :D They also look very nice. I made mine thin and cooked them on a skillet 3 minutes on each side, after cooking they were just a little crumbly but nothing to worry about if you use a spatula to put them on the bun. Thanks EdsGirlAngie! Update: I have made again at least 3 times since reviewing. I like to put in a whole egg and a little bit of oatmeal and it seems to help them hold together better. Also, making them thicker helps them not to fall apart and I have had success baking these in an oven at 350^ till they looked and felt done.

    These are TOTALLY worth 5 stars, all the way. I used lots and lots of jalapenos, and for some reason needed about 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. They held together beautifully! Topped with sharp cheddar and jalapeno slices, and served on an onion roll! :D YUMMMM!!!!

    This is a really tasty recipe and easy to prepare. I did not find that I needed to add the egg white, perhaps because I did not drain the beans enough. As I was out of bread crumbs I sustituted soda cracker crumbs. Thanks for the recipe.
