I was inspired by Chilis black bean burgers to create my own at home, using ingredients I always have, along with an 85 cent bag of black beans.

Ingredients

1	tbsp onion, diced
2	cups black beans
1	slice (32g) white bread, crumbled
1	tsp garlic powder
1	tsp onion powder
1	tbsp olive oil
1/2	cup mushrooms, minced

Directions

1. Mash black beans with a fork, until beans resemble mashed potatoes. Mix black beans, onion, bread, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil and mushrooms to form a thick mixture.
   
   
2. Form into patties approximately ½ inch thick and fry in 1 tbsp olive oil.
