Easy Veggie Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
• If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Drain and rinse beans with cold water.
• Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
• Add beans, onions, garlic, egg, 2 tbsp barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oil, salt and pepper to food processor.
• Pulse until beans are the size of peas.
• Place pulsed mixture into a large bowl.
• Add flour and stir until evenly mixed.
• Add bread crumbs and mix well.
• Add cheese and mix with your hands (mixture is thick).
• Divide mixture into six portions.
• Flour your hands and shape into 1/2-inch thick burgers (if you don't flour your hands the mixture will stick to them).
• The burgers may be refrigerated in a sealed container for 1 day or frozen until ready to grill.
• Oil your grill and preheat grill to medium-high.
• Place burgers on grill.
• Brush with remaining barbecue sauce.
• Barbecue with lid down until hot, turning once, for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve on buns with desired toppings i.e. pickles, onions, tomatoes, salsa.
• For vegetarian make sure you use either a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce or the soy sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine bulgur and 1 cup boiling water. Cover tightly and let sit until bulgur is tender, 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to remove liquid, then return bulgur to bowl. In a food processor, pulse pinto beans until coarsely chopped. Add beans to bulgur, along with Swiss cheese, carrots, scallion, and egg. Season with salt and pepper; mix well.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add 1/2 cup bean mixture and press lightly with a spatula to flatten. Make 3 more patties, working in batches if necessary (add more oil for second batch), and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 minutes per side. Serve burgers on buns with sprouts and avocado slices.
