Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Mash half the black beans in a bowl, then stir in the remaining whole beans, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic powder, and egg until sticky.
Form the mixture into four patties and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil and cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until a deep, dark crust forms.
Place cheese on patties during the final minute of cooking, then serve on buns with sauce, lettuce, and pickles.
