3-ingredient bean burgers

Makes 3 small, or 2 medium-size, burgers


1 cup   black-eyed beans
   (if using canned beans, rinse and drain well)

1/3 cup   rolled oats   (small or medium-size flakes)

4 T.   ketchup   (commercial brand, or homemade - see recipe)


(Not really the 4th ingredient! . . . optional . . . freshly ground black pepper - a few twists.)

__________________

- Put the 3 ingredients in medium size bowl, then blend (with hand blender) until most of the beans and oats are mashed.  Keep very slightly chunky; avoid turning completely to mush. Use wooden spoon to blend evenly (and mix in black pepper).

- Lightly coat cast-iron or frying pan with vegetable oil.

- Heat pan to low-medium, put burgers in pan, cover, cook about 4 to 5 minutes (until lightly brown).

- Flip burgers, cover again, and cook another 4 to 5 minutes (until lightly brown).

- Remove from heat, remove lid, and let sit a few minutes (to firm up), then transfer burgers to cooling rack.

- Serve warm. Also good cold (leftovers)!
