We found these whole-wheat slider buns at our Kroger and decided to make some little black bean burgers in slider size. Ralph's sister makes these and so we put our own twist on the recipe and really enjoyed the change of pace from the regular beef or turkey burgers.

black bean burgers

I was vegetarian for nearly 30 years and still don't eat meat in particular. That looks like a great recipe. My challenge, particularly with making vegan burgers, is how to get them to stick together. Mine often turn out so fragile that they'll fall apart on a bun. I really like Boca brand burgers and also buy Dr. Praeger's often. And I sure wish I knew how they get their burger patties to stick together so well!

@johnrk,

I use a touch of flour, some milled flax seeds and an egg. Once your mix is ready, use a dry measuring cup and a round cookie cutter as 'burger press', then pop in the freezer for some time. Your patties will look professional too.

Thanks for your input! I can't do flax in any form as it gives me terminal diarrhea. If I use egg I do all right; it's the vegan patties that still challenge me. I will more often do a vegan meatloaf if I don't want to use meat.

You know what else I've never been able to create to my complete satisfaction? Bean dip! Oh, I've been making it in the VitaMix since the 80's, or the Cuisinart. The problem for me isn't the texture, of course, but the seasoning. I do a good bean dip but I want to duplicate store-bought. The problem with Frito-Lay hot bean dip is that it isn't consistent, either. You'll get one can and it's very bland, open the next one and it's hot as Hades. Our H-E-B chain down here in Texas makes a superb jalapeno bean dip that's twice as good as Frito-Lay and costs half as much. Usually laziness just drives me to buy it rather than cook the beans and make it.

I'm also a hummus freak. I had a lover about 35 years ago whose father was American born and her mother was Lebanese born. I learned hummus from her mother. I still buy chickpeas from Honeyville in bulk, can them up in quart jars. I also buy sesame seeds in bulk and toast my own for the tahini. Store bought hummus is interesting but I consider it a different food entirely from the real stuff.

"Flavor them up right and you've got a winner."  Truer words were never spoken, Ralph. It was when I was a vegetarian and then vegan that I learned to season food properly.  Your black bean sliders look delicious!  Thanks to Carmen for the inspiration and Kevin for the savvy adaptation.  

 

Tried to identify the background music; sounded familiar but there was no reveal at the end of the video.  What was the snazzy soundtrack for this episode of Cavalcade of Food?

I don't have to actually make these to know they would be delicious. I love black beans. I can open a can and eat them with a spoon as-is. I guess one of the few perks of living alone is being able to enjoy beans as often as you like. Besides, it helps to have a weapon to combat dog gas.

Joe - it's always easy to forgive the dogs for their indiscretions because they are so damn cute...unfortunately I have no such excuse!
