Ingredients

3 cups cooked black beans (about 2-14 ounce cans, drained and rinsed), divided
1 medium green bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons hot sauce (more or less depending on your heat tolerance)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs (see notes for plant-based substitute)
1 to 2 cups breadcrumbs, divided (see notes for gluten-free alternative)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, set aside.
In the basin of a food processor, combine 2 cups of the black beans, bell pepper, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, and salt. Pulse until the mixture forms a smooth, thick paste-scraping the sides as necessary. Don't have a food processor? Check the recipe notes for an alternative method. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add in the remaining black beans, the eggs and 1 cup of the breadcrumbs, mix well. Continue adding breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup at a time, until the mixture can easily be formed into patties.
Form the mixture into six large patties and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the burgers begin to brown, feel firm, and start to crack on top. Serve immediately or freeze.
To freeze, let burgers cool completely, then freeze flat on a baking sheet until solid, about 3 hours. Transfer to a labeled zip-top freezer bag. Will keep in the freezer for about 3 months. Defrost before heating in skillet, on grill, or in the oven.
