Rice and Bean Burgers
Even a die-hard omnivore can’t resist these hearty burgers. Top with
a few slices of avocado or sour cream and salsa. Once you’ve tasted these, you’ll never go back to the packaged bean burgers.
Total Time:
20 min for 2 people
Serves 6
1 can (15-ounce) EDEN Cajun Rice & Beans
2 slices whole wheat bread
½ small onion
¼ cup red bell pepper
¼ cup sweet corn
2 cloves garlic
2 eggs
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro
2 Tablespoons salsa
¼ teaspoon chili powder
Dash hot sauce
Salt and pepper to taste



Place bread in food processor to create fluffy crumbs
Mince. Squeeze excess water by blotting with paper towel
Chop into small pieces, about ¼”

Mince
Lightly beat
Mince
Mix all ingredients in medium mixing bowl, cover and set aside for 30 minutes to allow the crumbs to absorb the mixture.

1 Tablespoon olive oil
In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Take a handful of rice and bean mixture and form a ball, then flatten slightly forming a round, thick burger. Place in skillet, cook until crispy and brown crust forms on bottom, about 5 minutes. MAKE SURE the crust forms before flipping because it can break on you. Flip and repeat for other side.

Serve on a bed of lettuce or on a bun with your favorite toppings. If you have leftovers, form patties and freeze in individual freezer bags.
