Mushroom and blackbean "meatballs"

Ingredients:

1 15 ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed
8 ounces of mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley for garnish 
handful of cheese optional

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Place black beans, mushrooms, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper and seasonings into large bowl. Mash all ingredients together until thoroughly combined. After chopping the mushrooms I decided to pulse all the ingredients but the egg in the food processor then added the egg. I did half with cheese half without.  Both ways are equally delicious.
Grease muffin tin with olive oil or butter. 
Roll mixture into appropriate size balls and place in muffin tin. 
Bake for approximately 15 min. being careful not to let them dry out. 
Remove from oven and serve along with your choice of sauce. (i prefer them plain myself with no sauce)
Garnish with parsley to make it pretty 
I used my mini muffin pan but you could easily use a large muffin tin or cookie sheet. Adjust cook time if  you make them large though. Mine were tablespoonish sized.

INSTRUCTIONS
Drain, but do not rinse, the black beans. Place them in a bowl and use a fork to mash them. Keep mashing until they're mostly broken up, but still have some whole beans visible. Add the breadcrumbs, onion, egg, chili powder, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir until everything is combined, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.

Note...is using dried beans you cooked you may need to add an extra egg and some oil if they are a bit dry to get the right texture

Heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil with an equal amount of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Form the bean mixture into patties slightly larger than the buns you're using (the patties will not shrink when they cook.) Place the patties in the skillet and cook them about 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip them to the other side, place 2 slices of cheese onto each patty, and continue cooking them for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the burgers are heated through. (Place a lid on the skillet to help the cheese melt if needed.)

Toast the buns and add your fixings.
