This Is the Black Bean-Mushroom Burger Recipe You’ve Been Waiting For

When it comes to summer food staples, it doesn’t get more essential than burgers. Patties made with beef might come to mind first, but veggie burgers deserve just as much attention, if not more. Pack patties with good things like beans and meaty vegetables like mushrooms and the results may well push your usual burger aside this summer. Especially because they contain an instant flavor booster: Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup.

Kasim Hardaway created this flavor-packed recipe. “I thought I’d put a spin on a black bean burger using Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup as both a flavoring agent and binder — killing two birds with one stone!” he says. The soup lends mushroomy, garlicky flavor to the patties while also keeping them from drying out. Add a mix of spices and crumbled feta cheese to the mix and the result is something the whole family will love. “It’s a vegetarian alternative for what might be my family’s favorite option from the grill. While it isn’t the beefy, carnivorous burger they all know and love, it’s packed with flavor and so moist.”

You’ll only need a few tablespoons of the condensed soup to taste its effects. But don’t let the rest of the can go to waste! Kasim recommends using it in a dish that pairs with the black bean-mushroom burgers, like scalloped potatoes or a twist on classic green bean casserole.
