Preparation Steps
1
Drain and rinse the black beans with cold water. Mash them with a fork or immersion blender in a large bowl.
2
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Sauté them with the diced red bell pepper in one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet until softened.
3
Add the sautéed onion mixture to the mashed beans. Stir in the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, baking powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4
Thoroughly mix the ingredients. Form the mixture into 4 equally sized patties. If the mixture is too soft, add a little more breadcrumbs.
5
Place the patties on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
6
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bean patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
7
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
8
In another skillet, cook the vegan bacon slices for a few minutes until crispy.
9
Halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or oven until lightly golden and crispy.
10
Spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf and the cheese-melted bean patty.
11
Add the crispy vegan bacon slice, a slice of tomato, and then drizzle with a little ketchup and mustard.
12
Place the top of the bun on and serve with a fresh salad or fries.
