Ingredients
Scale
For the Black Bean Patties:
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Jalapeno Popper Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1–2 jalapeños (seeded and finely chopped)
- 4 burger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, red onion, and other desired toppings
Instructions
- Prepare the Black Bean Patties: In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining. Add breadcrumbs, oats, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until combined.
- Make the Jalapeno Popper Filling: In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and chopped jalapeños to create the filling.
- Form the Stuffed Burgers: Divide the bean mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten 1 portion in your hand, place a spoonful of the jalapeño filling in the center, then top with another flattened portion. Seal the edges to form a stuffed patty. Repeat to make 4 stuffed burgers.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve: Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in.
- These burgers can be made ahead and frozen before cooking.
- Use a flax egg and dairy-free cheese alternatives to make it vegan.
