The other day, I decided to cook up some Black Bean Burgers which I had blogged about a couple other times. They always turn out great, but this time I wanted to do something different with them. First off I wanted to add corn kernels to the mixture and use refried black beans. This is the recipe I came up with:
Ingredients:
- 2 20.5 oz cans refried black beans
- 1 can whole kernel corn
- 2 C chunky salsa
- 3 T Tabasco Sauce
- 2 T cumin
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 C plain bread crumbs
I mixed up all the ingredients in a bowl and formed the patties. I made about 10 patties and probably had enough for 14 patties. I then put them on the grill over direct medium heat and I noticed right away that they were not going to stick together. I attempted to turn the patties over around 5 minutes and they completely fell apart. I could of probably used more bread crumbs, but I do not think this would have held the refried black beans together. As this ended up being an experiment gone bad, but then my wife pulled out some crackers and dipped it into the black beans and started commenting how much of a great dip this was. I then had to try it, and she was absolutely correct, so here is the recipe for the Accidental Ultimate Black Bean Dip:
Ingredients:
- 1 20.5 oz cans refried black beans
- 1 can whole kernel corn
- 1 C chunky salsa
- 2 T Tabasco Sauce
- 1 T cumin
- 1 white onion, chopped
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients together and server with tortilla chips or crackers.
