Spinach Bean Burgers

"We like bean burgers and I decided to do these to try to incorporate more spinach into my kids food without completely hiding it so that they will try to accept it more easily in dishes that it doesnt hide well in."

directions

  • Add navy beans, lentils, breadcrumbs, minced onion, garlic powder, and eggs to food processor. Process 1 minute or until thoroughly mixed.
  • Removed from food processor into large bowl and mix the spinach in with a large spoon, or with your hands. If you have some who don't like spicy food, go ahead and shape a couple burgers now. Then add red pepper flake and mix thoroughly.
  • Add oil to large fry pan and preheat. While heating pan, shape mix into burgers. These do not shrink like ground beef, so make them the size you would like the finished result to be.
  • Fry 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Serve with your favorite hamburger toppings.

  1. Quick, easy, and full of good stuff! Unfortunately, I couldn't taste it because of a cold, so my rating is based on my family's review.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of 2 young kids, one of which is picky. I came to the 'Zaar looking for new ways to prepare foods to try and get my family to eat healthier. I am proud to say both my picky one and my picky husband are eating a lot more vegtables and liking them! I love to collect cookbooks (don't we all) because I am always on the hunt for yummy new recipes. When I find a recipe I love, it goes on a 4x6 card and into my recipe box for future use. Since I like trying new things, the recipe has to be pretty special for me to hang on to it. I would say a good 90% of what I make I like, but just not enough for it to be THE recipe. I am generally not a picky eater, I like most things, but am just always on the look out for something different. I want us to eat healthier and have been preparing healthier foods, but we do enjoy the occasional bad meal. :) I am trying to do a couple all veggie dinners each week, a couple nights of fish, and the rest of the week is a toss up with chicken filling in the majority of the time. <img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff77/dbknadler/FunkyShPBanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff77/dbknadler/1honorablementionmostwantedDbKnable.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
