What's For Dinner? Black Bean Quinoa Burgers!!!!!

Tonight we are having the BEST veggie recipe I have found so far! I don't usually repeat recipes unless they are really good, and we have this once a week! These burgers will change your life, or close to it. We usually have ours on a pretzel or ciabatta bun with some good cheese, creamy sriracha sauce (mayo and sriracha mixed to your heat preference), and spinach. The leftovers are just as good as they were for dinner, so lunch is taken care of if you're only cooking for two! I cannot wait for dinner tonight!

Ingredients: 

Makes 5 burgers
  •  1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  •  1/2 cup quinoa
  •  1 cup water
  •  1/2 cup bread crumbs
  •  1/4 cup minced yellow bell pepper
  •  2 tablespoons minced onion
  •  1 large clove garlic, minced
  •  1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  •  1/2 teaspoon salt
  •  1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
  •  1 egg
  •  3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
  1. Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Roughly mash the black beans with a fork leaving some whole black beans in a paste-like mixture.
  3. Mix the quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, hot pepper sauce, and egg into the black beans using your hands.
  4. Form the black bean mixture into 5 patties.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
  6. Cook the patties in the hot oil until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
