Jalapeno-Red Bean-BBQ Burgers image

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!

Time 31m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup chopped and seeded plum tomato
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno chiles, more if you like or 1 teaspoon 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
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 leaves lettuce
4 slices thick tomatoes
avocado, slices
barbecue sauce (Whatever else floats your boat ... sour cream?)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add next onion, plum tomato, jalapeno, garlic and chili powder; sauté 5 minutes.
  • Cool slightly.
  • Using fork, coarsely mash beans in bowl.
  • Combine with onion mixture, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce and egg white.
  • Shape mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
  • (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"!
  • If grilling, oil the rack or spray grill rack with nonstick spray, then fire up coals to medium heat.
  • If pan-frying, heat a little olive oil over medium heat.
  • Place patties on grill or in skillet and cook until golden brown and heated through, about three minutes per side.
  • Place burgers on buns.
  • Serve with more barbecue sauce, and cheese, tomato, lettuce, avocado, or whatever topping you like!

These burgers were really easy to make and they turned out great. I cooked them on the grill and they were perfectly cooked.

I made these burgers with black beans instead of red beans and they were still really good. I also added some chopped onion and bell pepper to the mixture.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best veggie burgers he's ever had.

I'm not usually a fan of veggie burgers, but these were really good. The jalapeños added just the right amount of heat.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more BBQ sauce next time.

I love the smoky flavor that the chipotle peppers added to these burgers. They were also really juicy and flavorful.

These burgers were a hit! The combination of the spicy jalapeños and the sweet BBQ sauce was perfect. I also loved the texture of the red beans. They added a nice heartiness to the burgers.
