Chris Black Bean And Rice Burgers

I took the best elements of all of the bean burgers recipes ive seen and made these great tasting and healthy burgers for myself the other night. I was greatly impressed by how they turned out and i hope you are too. This recipe is intended to make enough burgers to be frozen for later eating- experiment with the measurements to make a more individual sized recipe.

Steps

Drain most or all of the can liquid from beans in a strainer and add kidney beans and black beans together in a blender.
Mash on a high setting , pulsing to keep the mixture moving and circulating toward the blade.
Let the bean mixture blend until there are only small amounts of whole or chopped beans in a mostly mashed medium.
Pour bean mixture into a large mixing bowl and beat in 2 large eggs.
Add to this any spices , vegetables , or seasonings preferred.
Garlic powder , salt , pepper , fresh lime juice , and a generous amount of chili powder are all very recommended.
Corn could also be added at this point along with salsa or a similarly diced mixture.
Add no more than 1 to 2 cups of salsa to prevent bean mixture from becoming too thin.
Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and beat until fully mixed.
Mayonnaise can be omitted as it is only included as extra flavor and fat.
Add in 1 cup of cooked brown rice- may use up to 2 cups if desired.
Blend completely into bean mixture.
