Spicy Chili Bean Burger

TexasHurricane's Note:

I got the original recipe for this from Betty Crocker. I made a few minor modifications to the list of ingredients and the prep method. These are a great way to get added fiber to your diet. I haven't tried freezing these yet, but I have refrigerated the final burgers and warmed them up with good results. I like to use chili beans in spicy sauce. Prep time includes time to refrigerate the patties.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 5

• 1 (15 ounce) canned chili beans , undrained
• ½ cup Fiber One cereal
• ½ cup quick-cooking oat
• ¼ cup chopped green onion (about 4 medium)

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
2. Transfer mixture to container and refrigerate to firm up mixure (I usually let it set overnight, but I would think 2 hours would be enough to firm it up).
3. When ready to cook the burgers, take the mixture and form into 5 patties.
4. Coat a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
5. Place patties in skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once. The patties will get a little brown when done (although it's hard to tell because the mixture is brown to begin with! When they are firm, they're done).
