Kudos to Dan

Well yesterday basically sucked...yup just one of those days. So what did I want to make me feel better? Well a Mushroom Swiss Burger of course! Yummmm......sooooo good! Well Dan, aka Mr. Keeping Us Healthy, wouldn't go for that. So he was on the search for a yummy, yet healthy, alternative. And he found it! It was so delicious that I had to blog (for the 1st time in a long time) about it! Here is it...

Black Bean Rice Burgers...Mushroom Swiss Style!

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons salsa, divided
mushrooms, onions, and cheese-optional

Directions

In a large bowl, mash beans with a fork. Add the rice, onion, egg and 2 tablespoons salsa; mix well. Drop by 1/2 cupfuls into a large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Flatten to 1/2-in. thickness. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until firm and browned. Add cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and sauteed onions.

Enjoy!
