Beef and Bean Burger

1 can of low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed

125 ml onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

30 ml Dijon mustard

5 ml ground cumin

7 ml paprika

2 ml salt

1 ml black pepper

1 egg

1 lb extra lean ground beef

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or a potato masher.

To the same bowl, mix in the onion, garlic, mustard, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and egg.

Add the ground beef and mix thoroughly. Firmly form into 8 burger patties and place onto the baking sheet.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Use a digital food thermometer to check that the burgers have reached an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
