Buffalo Blue Bean Burgers

These are easy and healthy and oh so tasty!  They would be the perfect thing for any newbie veggie-head who’s missing chicken wings (or burgers!).  They would be good on a salad, in a sandwich, or by themselves.  The recipe serves 4, but could easily be halved (or doubled!).

  • 2 15.5oz cans black beans
  • 1/2 cup, plus 2T buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup gorgonzola cheese crumbles
  • salt and pepper, to season
  1. Preheat the oven to 450*.  Foil and spray a baking sheet.
  2. Empty bean cans into a colander and rinse thoroughly – this is a heart healthy step, reduce your sodium intake.
  3. Pour beans and 2 cups wing sauce into a blender and puree.  If you have a rickety blender you may want to do this in two batches.
  4. Empty blender into a large mixing bowl.  Add rest of wing sauce and eggs, stir.  Add bread crumbs, stir.  Add cheese and fork to combine.
  5. Using your hands, form 12 patties out of the bean mixture.
  6. Put patties on prepared sheet and bake for 20minutes, it is not necessary to flip them during baking.
