“When it comes to health, I know how important it is to boost fiber with something as simple as whole grains. So if you want to enjoy a burger without the fat and, as a bonus, sneak in more fiber, give these a try.” Jennifer Kunz — Austin, Texas
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup bulgur
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
3 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
1 garlic clove, halved
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon canola oil
6 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
spinach leaves, sliced red onion and tomato
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in bulgur. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. In a food processor, combine the beans, onions, mustard and garlic. Cover and pulse until blended. Stir in salt and pepper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, bulgur and bean mixture. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, cook patties in oil in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Serve on buns with spinach, onion and tomato. Yield: 6 servings.
