Chili Burger
Vegan and Gluten Free!
Once a week or so, I like to make a home made veggie burger for dinner. I wanted to create something with a bold and classic flavor profile, like a bowl full of chili. Kidney beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, onions, and herbs and spices come together to make that great chili flavor. I think I replicated that flavor pretty well in this burger.Because the recipe calls for canned beans and tomatoes, you can whip up this burger pretty quickly. You could even make the patties the night before, or on the weekend. Then you just have to preheat your oven and pop them in when you get home from work.
I decided to try and use quick oats as my binder in this recipe. Honestly, I think I like it better than breadcrumbs or flour. The oats pick up the the other flavors much better than wheat products do, in my opinion. So, if you are gluten free, this is the burger for you!
