Black Bean Burgers

These. Were. Delicious.

Meatless Mondays can grow tiresome after a while, not because we crave the meat, but because I want to ensure my family is getting enough protein without every eating tofu. Ever.

Tonight, I hosted ten Girl Scouts in my kitchen to learn about healthy eating habits and make a few recipes to take home. By the end of the hour, I was joyful and sitting in a very messy kitchen. I didn't have much energy to do anything, and I considered calling out for pizza. Fortunately, my wheat belly and passion for trying this new recipe prevailed, and M and I banded together and made quite possibly the easiest and most flavorful recipe for black bean burgers. We all inhaled them.

You need: (for four burgers)

1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Smash the beans with a fork or potato masher. Combine with the remaining ingredients. Grill.

See what I mean? And SO good!!
