Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fiber One™ original bran cereal
  • 1 can (15 or 16 oz) spicy chili beans in sauce, undrained
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (4 medium)
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups washed fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 5 slices tomato

Steps

  • 1
    Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor).

    In medium bowl, mash beans with fork until no whole beans remain. Add crushed cereal, oats, onions and egg; mix well. Shape mixture into 5 patties, each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

    For each sandwich, place 1/4 cup spinach leaves and 1 tomato slice on bottom half of bun; top with bean burger and top half of bun.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Legumes are loaded with plenty of fiber--the soluble kind. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet!
