Butter Bean Burgers The burgers turned out really good but the cooking time is 6 to 8 mintues per side. That way they have a nice golden layer. A nice varation was adding pesto to them and not garlic powder but garlic.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can butter beans, drained

1 small onion, chopped

1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeno pepper

6 saltine crackers, crushed

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup vegetable oil
