~Butter Bean Burgers~

BUTTER BEAN BURGERS





We made these last night and all liked them except Mckenzie. She said they didn't have much flavor but i didn't put the jalapenos in them because i didn't want them to be to hot for the kids. I liked them. They reminded me and dh of salmon patties. I wouldn't start with this if you are just becoming vegetarian but if your used to eating fake meat and stuff then i think you may like them. You can always add your own special touch to them too. :) We will be making them again soon.






INGREDIENTS:






* 1 (15 ounce) can butter beans, drained



* 1 small onion, chopped



* 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño pepper



* 6 saltine crackers, crushed



* 1 egg, beaten



* 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese



* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder



* salt and pepper to taste



* 1/4 cup vegetable oil






DIRECTIONS:






1. In a medium bowl, mash butter beans.



Mix in onion, jalapeño pepper, crushed crackers, egg, cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal parts, and shape into patties.



2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; use more or less oil to reach 1/4 inch in depth.



Fry patties until golden, about 5 minutes on each side.
