Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bean Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or a potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the burger patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and heated through.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to help it melt.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and avocado. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the vegan cheeseburgers warm and enjoy!
