This came from my friend Eva at work. I made her tell me the ingredients ‘off the top of her head.’
“This is an attempt at a recipe for chicken burgers. The beans are a good way to stretch a pound of meat for that hungry family 😉
I do the same when making meatballs. The quantities are all guestimation. 1.5 cans seems like an odd amount for beans, but I usually have cooked beans in the freezer so I dump a bunch in the processor. “
Ingredients
1 lbs ground chicken
1 lbs ground chicken
1.5 cans black or navy beans
1 medium onion
1 egg, scrambled
3 tbsp olive oil
seasoning (I use 1 chipotle pepper, but different herbs & spices)
bread crumbs (plain or use herbs & spices in here instead of in the meat)
toppings (tomato, lettuce, pickle, avocado, condiments)
Directions
In a large bowl, mash beans with potato masher or in a food processor until almost smooth
Finely dice onion and mix with beans, or put in food processor and buzz a few times
Add in meat seasonings
Mix egg into bean mixture
(empty contents into large bowl if using food processor)
Combine ground chicken
Add oil and mix
With wet hands, form patties. Pat burger in bread crumb mixture. Place on oiled aluminum foil lined pan and drizzle little bit more olive oil on top. Cook in 350 degree oven 30 mins.
