1 can (16 ounces) black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed. I like to use half black and half pinto.
Mash beans up with a fork or potato masher, I don't like to mash to a creamy consistency, leave it a little chunky.
In a skillet, saute the following ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 bell pepper, finely diced
1 cup fresh mushrooms, diced
saute veggies till the are tender, pour off any excess liquid, let cool and add:
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs, I use panko
2 tablespoons Lipton's Recipe Secrets Onion and Mushroom soup mix
stir mixture into beans, mix well and form into patties, cook in a hot pan or hot grill. I have found that it works best for me if I use foil when cooking on a grill.
Serve on a burger bun with your favorite hamburger condiments.
