How to Make Amazing Veggie Burgers

  1. Drain and rinse one (15-ounce) can of black beans with cold water.
  2. Drain the beans thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Place the black beans in a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
  4. Add 1/2 medium yellow onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pulse until the beans are roughly the size of peas. Do not over-process into a puree.
  6. Transfer the bean mixture to a large bowl.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with a spatula until evenly combined. The mixture will be thick.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  9. Gently fold in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
  11. Using well-floured hands, shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
  12. Refrigerate in a sealed container for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 day) or freeze for later use.
  13. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  14. Cook the burgers for 5 minutes per side, or until browned and heated through. Spoon the remaining 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce over the burgers during the last few minutes of cooking.
  15. Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings!
