Black Beany Burgers

This is Meg's recipe, and I am reposting it here, since her blog is private and I LOVE these!

Beany Burgers
1-2 cans drained black beans (or about 3 cups black beans if you cook them yourself, like I did)
a little shake of garlic salt ('cuz I can't cook without it)
1/4 c canned whole kernel corn (not to be mistaken by that nasty creamed corn stuff)
1 c dry bread crumbs (or cracker crumbs, or whatever you have handy)
2-3 tsp (1/3 packet?) Hidden Valley Dips FIESTA Ranch Packet (not the prepared dip...just the dry mix)
1/4 diced onion (optional)
1 egg (beaten)

1/4 c cornmeal
2 TBS olive oil

Hamburger buns
sliced avocado
sliced pepper jack cheese

Mash beans in food processor, then mix in a bowl with garlic salt, corn, bread, fiesta seasonings, onion, and egg using a potato masher or wooden spoon.

Form into patties (makes about 6 small patties)
coat with cornmeal

Heat oil in skillet over med heat.
Cook 10-15 minutes, flip once...they're done when they're crispy!

Top with pepperjack (cover pan with lid 30 sec to melt cheese)
and sliced avocado
