Oh how I love reading food and fitness blogs! Seriously, it has become one of my new hobbies...I don't know if that is good or not? Anyway, this recipe is from one of the food blogs that I read called The Daily Crumb. It was a very cheap, easy, and delicious recipe, and it made about 8 burgers! I served them on a Whole Foods Seduction Bread Roll and a spinach salad on the side. You really don't miss the meat in this recipe either....very satisfying!! Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz.) of cannelloni beans (white beans), drained and rinsed
- 8 oz. of chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup of fat free ricotta cheese
- 1 egg + 1 egg white
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 1 cup of plain bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mash the cannelloni beans with a fork, leaving some small chunks.
2. In a medium bowl, add the ricotta cheese and eggs and whisk together until smooth and well incorporated. Next, stir in the thawed spinach, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder.
3. Add the mashed beans to the cheese and spinach mixture and season with salt and pepper.
4. Take about 1/4-1/2 cup of the mixture and form into burger patties. Saute on a large non-stick griddle pan or skillet for about 5 minutes (just until they are browned on the outside). Then place them on a large non-stick cookie sheet and bake them for about 15-20 minutes.
5. Serve on a bun or on top of a spinach salad. Enjoy!!
