Classic Veggie Burger with Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

A hearty and flavorful homemade veggie burger packed with black beans, oats, and spices, topped with crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and red onion.

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 slices red onion

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until mostly smooth but with some chunks.
2. Add oats, chopped onion, garlic, egg, ketchup, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
4. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
5. Place each patty on a toasted bun bottom. Top with lettuce, tomato slice, and onion slice. Cover with bun top and serve.

Tips

• For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water).
• Burgers can be baked at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, instead of pan-frying.
• Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
