Spicy Mexican Bean Burger

Recipe Ingredients

16 oz	454g	Canned red kidney beans
		Drained & rinsed
1/2		Onion - coarsely chopped (small)
1/2		Green pepper - coarsely ch.
1		Carrot - steamed, mashed
1/8 cup	29ml	Picante sauce or salsa

1		Chili powder

Recipe Instructions

Mix all ingredients together. Add more flour to create a firmer mixture, or more salsa if mixture is too stiff. Form into balls and smash into patties. Bake at 450for 15-20 minutes, until firm, brown and done. Serve on whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato and salsa. Accompany with tortilla chi and a large glass of iced tea.

These can be grilled or pressed in those new-fangled sandwich presses... a lot quicker and tastier than baking. The judges suggested adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the recipe.
