Red Pepper Black Bean Sliders Recipe
Black bean burgers are one of my favorite homemade recipes. I modified these with roasted red peppers from a jar. It's a great recipe for Meatless Mondays. We would have it for a quick dinner, and it was a great freezer meal for summers when we didn't want to cook in a hot kitchen. I loved them because most of these things we had in our pantry too.
Prepping this recipe before combining them into burgers ensured I had all the ingredients ready to assemble. I could set up the different components and cover them to create the burgers later too.
To make the burgers, mash black beans in a bowl using a potato masher. Cut up the red peppers into small pieces. Then, mix the rest of the ingredients.
Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop out a heaping scoop of the mix. Then, form into a small burger. You can make ten sliders with this combination.
I added them to wax paper and folded them up for freezing or grilling later. Place the wax paper down, then add two burgers; then I added more wax paper and added two more burgers. I then covered the entire stack with wax paper. Then I placed them in a gallon bag and froze. They freeze very well.
I pulled them out of the freezer and let them thaw for a few hours.
Preheat grill. Then, spray each patty with a non-stick spray and place the spray side of the burger on the grill.
Cook the sliders for 5 minutes on the grill. Then turn over 5 minutes.
OPTIONAL: If you wish to add cheese, follow these instructions. While they cook, cut cheese slices into four small squares.
After 10 minutes of cooking, add the cheese slices for a few minutes.
Then start assembling the slider burgers.
I mixed Olive Oil Mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce for the topping. I used baby spinach as the lettuce. (This is also optional).

Tips
- If you decide to make this gluten-free, be sure to adjust the gluten-free quantity. It will take a lot less than you may think than regular bread crumbs.
- If you use egg substitute, mix it really well and follow the ratio listed on the back of the container.
