Tips
- The reason this recipe was made to make 16 servings so that I can freeze a little over half for future meals! Be sure to seperate patties with wax paper when freezing.
- Top with a slice of lean turkey bacon and cheese for a delicious bacon cheeseburger. A slice of lean turkey bacon and a slice of cheese will add about 150 calories, but it makes for a heartier comfort food.

Directions
1. Sautee loosely chopped peppers, onions, and mushrooms on high heat until they start to brown.
2. Put sauteed veggies into food processor and pulse until finely chopped (but not blended). You can use a hand held chopper or even mince the vegetables by hand (before sauteeing), if you don't have a food processor.
3. Set veggies aside.
4. Put black beans, tempeh, oats, egg, and seasonings into food processor and pulse until well-blended (but not pureed). You can mash the ingredients with a potato masher if you don't have a food processor, but you'll have to chop the oats before-hand.
5. Mix chopped veggies and black bean mixture in a bowl using your hands. It should feel something like a loose meatloaf mixture. If it's too runny, at bit more chopped oats.
6. Separate into 3 inch wide patties (1/2 inch thick) and cook in a bit of vegetable oil (I used PAM) on medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side. They should be a bit crisp on the outside, similar to a real burger.
7. Serve warm, on a small whole wheat roll or by itself. Top with Jamaican Jerk Sweet Chili Sauce (another of my recipes on Spark People, calories not included).
