Black beans, tempeh and mushrooms give these burgers a great “meaty” texture and flavor. Enjoy them with lots of healthy toppings—avocado, tomato, red onions and lettuce!

Ingredients

Add to Grocery List

1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, broken into chunks

1 cup chopped mushrooms

1 small onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 1/2 cups cooked or 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added or low sodium black beans, drained

1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place tempeh in a food processor and pulse until crumbled. In a saute pan, heat 2-3 tablespoons of water and saute the tempeh, mushrooms, onions and garlic until onions are tender and mushrooms lose their moisture, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, partially mash black beans, then add the tempeh mixture and remaining ingredients.

Form mixture into 6 patties. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes.

The burgers were delicious, but they fell apart. Do I need to add an egg to bind the mixture? Thanks

The burgers should hold together without an egg. Make sure you cook the mushroom and tempeh mixture long enough for the water from the mushrooms to evaporate. When you flip them over, do it very carefully and reshape the burger a bit if needed.

So-So; nothing special. I've had better burgers on this and other sites.

These were very good! My husband liked them a lot more ;) I would make these again. The first time I sprinkled fresh, raw onions on top and I thought it make a great difference - although they were not bad on their own. I also flattended them a bit more for some crispiness here 'n there. Next time I would definetly serve them with toppings - giving them a Mexican flair: fresh salsa, DF Sour Cream recipe (outstanding), avocado, and of course raw onions! Thank you!

These came out great. I'm a lazy cook so I used a food processor to chop and mash everything. They held together very well and I used the suggestion to reshape them a bit after I turn them. The flavor was great but now I'm inspired to try how will they might be with other flavorings and change it up each time. I might try a curry flavor next

I did like these alot. Although, I think my spices are too potent... so next time I would use a bit less. SAD-EATER hubby liked them just fine with ketchup.....

I made these in a small convection oven, they did-not fall apart... I did flip them.... but... toward the end of cooking.

In my convection oven... about 10 minutes total, I didn't flip them until they were in for 8 minutes.

I have made these several times - great stand-by! Convection oven setting was a good suggestion! They stayed in one piece.

I'm new to your membership and excited to try the recipes! However, after reading this recipe I can see where the issue of it falling apart could arise. One small onion is a vague discription for this type of recipe. Soups or salad, okay, but cup or gram measurments in this situation would be so much more helpful. Any suggestions before I attempt this? Thanks so much!

Hello, and welcome aboard!

This isn't baking, so the amounts do not need to be exact, but one small onion is 70 grams/2.5 ounces/1/3 cup. I prefer red onions as they are the most flavorful. As Linda mentioned, you must cook it long enough to get the water out of the 'shrooms. However, I use an egg in all burger recipes whether the recipe calls for it or not: a flax egg. In this recipe I use 3 T of ground flax seed and add 3 T of cold water, let it sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, and add to the mixture. Bonus!--you're adding healthy fat (high omega-3) from the flax.
