HOMEMADE BURGERS RECIPE EASY RECIPES

Steps:

• If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Place 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a small bowl and stir to combine.
• Divide 1 pound ground beef into 4 portions and form into rough, loose balls (do not press them together). Place on a baking sheet or large plate and sprinkle all over with the seasoning mixture.
• Heat a 10-inch or larger cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil. Working in 2 batches if needed so as not to crowd the pan, add the beef balls. Flatten the balls with a flat spatula to form rough 4-inch wide patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. Cook until the edges are brown and the beef no longer sticks to the skillet, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and place 1 slice sharp cheddar cheese on top of each patty, if using. Continue cooking until the cheese is fully melted and burgers no longer stick to the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately on toasted buns with desired toppings.
