Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°
Cook the thawed Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls according to the package instructions.
While the dinner rolls are baking, begin gathering the ingredients to make the black bean burgers.
Mix together the flax seed meal and water in a small dish to create the flax egg. Set aside in the freezer to thicken until needed.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the drained black beans. Using a potato masher, mash them until most of the beans are smashed, leaving a few whole beans.
Add in all seasonings, breadcrumbs, red onion, jalapeño and flax egg. Stir with a large spoon to combine.
Preheat a lightly oiled pan on the stove to low medium-heat.
Using a ¼ measuring cup, scoop out ¼ cup of the black bean burger mixture and form a small patty using your hands. Set aside on a clean surface (like a cutting board or plate). Repeat until all of the mixture has been used.
Increase the pan's temperature to medium and add in your mini black bean burgers (3-4 at a time depending on how large your pan is). Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until browned.
While the patties are cooking, you can begin preparing the toppings for your burgers.
Once all of the burgers are finished cooking, you can begin building your burgers with toppings as you'd like.
