Directions
Chop peppers, mushrooms, and onion. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to pan and heat over medium. Add peppers, mushroom, and onion to pan and heat 5-7 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Rinse beans and add to pan. Add garlic powder, cayenne, and paprika and stir into mixture. Mash with potato masher (or other implement) and continue to cook on medium for 2 more minutes. Meanwhile, add two egg whites into a bowl. Add mustard and Worcestershire sauce to the egg whites and stir together. Add the bean mixture from the pan to the egg white mixture and blend together. Add bread crumbs until the mixture holds together nicely. Form into four balls with your hands and then flatten into patties. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to pan over medium heat. Add patties to pan and heat for about 5-7 minutes per side. I like mine a little crispy on the outside! Toast buns, place patties on them, and top with mustard, onion, ketchup, and avocado.

    These sound very good. I am a fan of the Morningstar Farms black bean burgers, but these sound better. Thanks for sharing the recipe. - 11/10/09
