Vegetarian Black Bean Burger

Ingredients:

1 (16 ounce) Can Black beans (drained and rinsed)
3 Cloves garlic (pressed)
1 Egg
1 Tbsp. Chili powder
1 Tbsp. Cumin
1 Tsp. Thai chili sauce (or hot sauce)
1/2 Cup Bread crumbs

Directions:
If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375* F, and lightly oil a baking sheet.

In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty. Stir in pressed garlic to mashed beans.

In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.

Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties. Gently wrap each patty in aluminium foil and allow to firm in refridgerator or store in freezer for future use.

If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
