CHILI BEAN BURGERS (VEGGIE BURGERS)



Chili Bean Burgers (Veggie Burgers) image

Great veggie burger recipe with a chili and cumin kick in it. We make these all the time to get a vegetarian protein fix. Adapted from a great Moosewood Restaurant Recipe. These are really filling, so we've found that slightly thinner, smaller patties are usually better, and you can fit toppings on that way. We will also sometimes add a tbsp of crushed red pepper flakes in with the cumin and chili pepper to really spice it up!

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 (15.5-ounce) can pink beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimentos, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Mixed greens and sliced tomato, for serving
4 soft hamburger buns
Choice of Choice of Hidden Valley Ranch® Cheese Topping, below
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (1 ounce)
1/2 cup Buffalo Hidden Valley Ranch®
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (2 ounces)
6 tablespoons Honey BBQ Hidden Valley Ranch®
3/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (4 ounces)
1/4 cup Cucumber Hidden Valley Ranch®

Steps:

  • Pulse the oats, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and beans in a food processor until a coarse puree forms. Add the pimentos, celery, parsley, and shallots. Pulse just until evenly distributed throughout. Form the mixture into 4 patties to match the diameter of the buns. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until crisp and browned on the outside and hot inside, about 10 minutes. Divide the greens and tomato slices among the bottom buns, top with the patties and sauce, and sandwich with the top buns.
  • For Toppings: Fold together the ingredients (for each topping separately) until well-mixed.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans, adds flavor and texture to the burgers.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook the beans until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Mash the beans well: Mashing the beans well helps to create a smooth and cohesive burger patty. You can use a food processor or a potato masher to mash the beans.
  • Add plenty of seasonings: Season the bean mixture with plenty of seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. This will help to give the burgers flavor.
  • Chill the burger patties before cooking: Chilling the burger patties before cooking helps them to hold their shape better. You can chill the patties for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat helps to prevent them from burning. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These chili bean burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, fiber, and flavor. The burgers are also easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Serve the burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. You can also enjoy the burgers without a bun, or crumbled up in a salad.
