Steps:

• Rinse and drain the can of white kidney beans, or if you prefer to use dried beans, cook 2/3 dry cup of them ahead of time. Use 1 whole egg, or separate two eggs, discarding the yolks.
• Put everything on the list into your food processor and chop until you reach the desired consistency-- a total puree, or a rougher chop that still has some whole pieces of beans in there.
• Scoop the mixture into a bowl and refridgerate for 20-30 minutes, it's okay if it stays in longer.
• Form patties with your hands, you'll get 4 large ones or 6 smaller ones (which I prefer because I eat them on English muffins.).
• Heat some olive oil on a frying pan, adding more as needed (mine tends to evaporate after a few minutes) to cook each patty for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Serve on your favorite buns/breads with the fixings you like. I particularly like these with ketchup or marinara sauce.

Steps:

• Add navy beans, lentils, breadcrumbs, minced onion, garlic powder, and eggs to food processor. Process 1 minute or until thoroughly mixed.
• Removed from food processor into large bowl and mix the spinach in with a large spoon, or with your hands. If you have some who don't like spicy food, go ahead and shape a couple burgers now. Then add red pepper flake and mix thoroughly.
• Add oil to large fry pan and preheat. While heating pan, shape mix into burgers. These do not shrink like ground beef, so make them the size you would like the finished result to be.
• Fry 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Serve with your favorite hamburger toppings.
