Spicy Chili Bean Burgers

  • Okay, I got this recipe from Fiber One...

    1 cup Fiber one original brand cereal
    1 can (15 or 16 oz) spicy chili beans in sauce, undrained
    1/2 cup quick cooking oats
    1/4 cup chopped green onions (4 medium)
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    1 1/4 cups washed fresh baby spinach leaves
    5 slices tomato
    5 whole wheat burger buns, split

    1- Place cereal in resealable food storage plastic bag, seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor).

    2- In medium bowl, mash beans with fork until no whole beans remain. Add crushed cereal, oats, onions, and egg, mix well. Shape mixture into 5 patties, each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

    3- Spray 12 inch skillet with cooking spray. Add patties, cook over medium heat about 10 minutes, turning once, until brown.

    4- For each sandwich, place 1/4 cup spinach leaves and 1 tomato slice on bottom half of bun, turning once, until brown.
