These burgers are a snap to prepare with lean ground beef, a can of mild green chile peppers, and a can of black beans. Top these burgers with a slice of pepper jack cheese and add salsa or ketchup for a perfect burger.

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 8 large burgers

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 can (16 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped mild green chile peppers
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • sliced pepper jack cheese, optional

Preparation:

Combine beef with the beans, peppers, cumin, salt, and pepper; mix gently with hands until well blended. Form into patties and grill for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until done. If desired, top with cheese about a minute before they're done.

Serves 6 to 8.

Excellent recipe, Member LilyTree

I made these for guests over the holiday weekend--they were a BIG hit. I was worried about the hamburgers holding together, but did not need to be--they shaped well and kept their shape. Highly recommended--thanks, Diana!
