30 mins
For the BBQ caramelized onion:
Heat oil in a skillet. Add thin-sliced onions. Sauté until onions look slightly caramelized and somewhat translucent. Add the Head Country Bar-B-Q sauce, toss with onions and allow to slightly bubble. Turn off heat and set aside.
For the burgers:
Using a potato masher or fork, mash the beans in a medium bowl until they are mushy but still have some whole bean pieces throughout.
Mix the breadcrumbs, grated onion, Head Country Championship seasoning, and egg into the beans. (Add a splash of water if the mixture looks dry.) Set aside for 5 minutes.
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of canola oil and a tablespoon or two of butter for flavor.
Divide the bean mixture into 4 equal patties. (Note: Black bean burgers do not shrink when they cook.)
Add the patties to the hot skillet with the melted oil and butter. Cook burgers until browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to the top of each burger. Top the pan with a lid to allow cheese to melt.
To build your burger: Butter buns and toast in a skillet. Add iron-skillet black bean burger (or two, if you wish) to top of bun. Drizzle burger with a little Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce. Top with caramelized BBQ onions, lettuce, tomato slice, and top of bun. Enjoy!
