Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Dash crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
6 slices reduced-fat process American cheese product
Dill pickle slices, fat-free mayonnaise and ketchup, optional
Directions:
Place the beans, water and lemon juice in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, egg and seasonings and mix well. Shape into six patties.
In a large skillet, cook patties in oil in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve on buns with cheese. Top with pickle slices, mayonnaise and ketchup if desired.

I have to admit I was kind of surprised when Adam picked this recipe out. He's a MEAT kind of person so it amused me that he'd opt for a burger made of beans. These were pretty easy to make. I think it was overkill with the breadcrumbs though - made the mixture really dry and the burgers didn't stay together too well. They were definitely delicious.
