These Italian Cannellini Bean Burgers are delicious, quick and easy weeknight meal that is loaded with protein and flavor.
A while ago, I made Greek Black Bean Sliders . It was my first foray in making a non-meat burger and I really liked them; however, I haven’t made them since. So I decided to try another version with these Italian Cannellini Bean Burgers and OH MY GOODNESS…even better!
This version had all of my favorite flavors wrapped up in one neat little package. Spinach. Garlic. Tomatoes. Mushrooms. Rosemary. How can you go wrong? These burgers are so simple to make too. Just mix all of the ingredients together, fry them in a minuscule amount of olive oil and in 20 minutes, lunch or dinner is served!
I like how flavorful and filling these are on their own served with a side salad. You can even make these ahead of time and take for lunch as they also reheat beautifully. ~Enjoy!

They did! A friend of mine also asked if she could substitute chick peas and any bean would work wonderfully.

These look wonderful! A great change from black beans or chickpeas!
