I think the best thing about this recipe is that you must
freeze the burgers before baking them and you bake them from the frozen state,
which makes them perfect for a weeknight meal.
Here’s what you need:
A red or
green pepper
½ onion
3 cloves
garlic
1 can black
beans, drained and rinsed
1 egg
1 T chili
powder
½ T cumin
1 t hot
sauce
¾ C oatmeal
Here’s what
you do:
Process the
oatmeal until fine. Set aside. Process the pepper, onion and garlic until very
smooth. Strain out the liquid and return the veggie pulp to the processor. Add
the beans and process until very smooth.
Remove the
mash to a bowl. Add the oatmeal, egg and the spices. Form into 4 patties, wrap,
and freeze.
Bake at 375 degrees
on an oiled baking sheet for about 20 minutes. Flip them after about 10
minutes. No need to thaw them!
