    Have you recovered yet? You know, from the big feast? Or are you still living in yoga pants in a food coma?

    I have to say I think I did okay. I didn't over-do it. I ate all the things I wanted to eat. Indulged on the things that are important to me. And more importantly, I brought home leftovers of the foods I love the most so Thanksgiving can happen again and again for a couple more days!

    You can bet your bottom dollar that I will be making sandwich after sandwich piled high with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green bean casserole. Yes, that's right. A burger with all the fixings!

    It all started when I saw Karly's Thanksgiving Burger. I was in love! After a little back-and-forth conversation, she inspired me to make a veggie burger that was filled with STUFFING!

    Totally brilliant, if you ask me. Between the inspiration from Karly and my favorite go-to black bean burger from Tried and Tasty, I knew I'd have a winner on my hands.

    Ingredients

    • 2 15 oz cans black beans, rinsed & drained
    • ½ red bell pepper
    • ½ white onion , cut into wedges
    • 3 cloves garlic , peeled
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tablespoon . chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon . cumin
    • ½ teaspoon . salt
    • 1 cup leftover stuffing (make sure it's vegetarian!)

    Burger Toppings:

    • leftover mashed potatoes
    • leftover green beans or green bean casserole
    • vegetarian gravy
    • hamburger buns

    Instructions

    • Pulse black beans in a food processor until roughly chopped. Alternately, you can mash in a bowl with a fork.
    • Add red pepper, onions, and garlic to beans and pulse all together in the food processor until a "paste" is made.
    • Add black bean mixture to a large bowl along with egg, seasonings, and stuffing. Mix together really well, preferably with your hands, so it all becomes incorporated.
    • Using â…“ of a cup, divide mixture into patties and fry them up in a frying pan or non-stick griddle on medium heat until brown on one side, about 5-8 minutes. Flip and brown the other side.
    • Once browned, you can create your burger. Top a hamburger bun with stuffing patty, mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy. Either top with bun or eat open-faced.

      That burger is ultra-delicious and simple at the same time! Thanks for having a section for vegetarians!!! Skipping the egg though 🙂

        I'm so glad you liked this one! It's a hit around here too - in fact I don't make it with egg anymore either. Just use a flax egg (1T ground flax + 3T water) to bind it all together, and you'll be good. In fact, this whole site it full of vegetarian and vegan recipes that you can check out!
        Enjoy!
