Inspired by chilli con carne – swapping some of the meat for beans saves money too.

Ingredients
Burgers
- 1 small onion, quartered
- small can (about 210g) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 250g lean beef mince

Method

Chop the onion in a food processor, then add the beans, mince, breadcrumbs, chilli powder, beaten egg and tomato purée, and mix again.
Information:If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash the beans with a fork or potato masher, chop the onions by hand and then mix with the other ingredients.
-
Shape the mixture into 4 patties and chill until you're ready to cook.
-
Barbecue or grill for 5 to 7 minutes each side.
