A salsa and sour cream sauce helps dress up these hearty vegetarian burgers. My fiance, who's a confirmed meat-and-potatoes man, loves these sandwiches and asks for them often, relates Laura Wimbrow of Ocean City, Maryland. Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained |
1 cup cooked brown rice |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup salsa, divided |
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
4 lettuce leaves |
4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese (1 ounce each) |
4 hamburger buns, split |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mash beans with a fork. Add the rice, onion, egg and 2 tablespoons salsa; mix well. Drop by 1/2 cupfuls into a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray. Flatten to 1/2-in. thickness. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until firm and browned.
2. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and remaining salsa. Place a lettuce leaf, burger, sour cream mixture and slice of cheese on bun. Yield: 4 servings.
