Ingredients

• 15 oz canned black beans
• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 each small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 each burger buns
• 4 each lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans well. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.

Step 3

Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed black beans.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top each patty with a slice of tomato, a lettuce leaf, and the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Cheeseburger Patty Deluxe!
