Chickpea Burgers

I need to add more flavor next time, but they were good. I added a few extra things that the original recipe didn't call for. Next time you buy canned beans at the store check the ingredients! I was looking over the label and a lot of them have corn syrup in them!! Can you believe it? I know I couldn't. So if you want to avoid that buy organic. They also use sea salt instead of regular salt so it's even better.

1 can red kidney beans
1 can chickpeas
1 onion (diced)
1 carrot (shredded)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder
parsley

*Bring the beans to a boil and let simmer 5 minutes. Drain them and then mash them as well as you can. Add all the other ingredients and stir well. This makes about 5-6 medium burgers. Then grill them or pan fry them in a non-stick skillet. This is an inexpensive meal to make that yields a lot of food! You could also add bread crumbs if you would like.
