This is a weeknight staple for us! Paired with sweet potato “fries” and avocado, this meal is packed with protein, complex carbs, and essential fats. I think it’s my favorite recipe of all!

• 2 cans black beans (rinsed)
• 1 red pepper chopped
• 2-3 carrots chopped
• 1 onion chopped
• 1/2 bulb of garlic chopped (or you can scale down if you’re not a garlic fan) 
• 2 eggs
• 1 c. bread crumbs (I use gluten free)
• 1 TB chili powder
• 1 TB cumin
• goat cheese
• avocado
• whole wheat buns

Combine all ingredients through Cumin. I use my hands and really squish the beans. Using half the batter, form 8 patties. Top with goat cheese and then add another patty. Bake at 375 for 25-30 min.

If serving for others, I serve on a whole wheat bun. But for me, I go bunless. It’s then dairy free and gluten free.
