Directions
Preheat grill.
Using food processor, puree the beans until they are almost smooth, keeping a bit of the bean consistency. Add remaining ingredients and mix together. Form into 6-8 burgers. Grill patties 5-10 minutes per side on an oiled grill or until a thermometer inserted into the patty reads 175°F. Grill onions next to meat.
Chipotle Mayo: In a food processor, puree the chilies to a smooth consistency. Set aside 3 Tbsp (45 mL) of the chipotle puree*. The remaining puree can be frozen for another use. Clean the bowl of the food processor and add garlic and brown sugar. Pulse. Scrape down the sides of the work bowl and add salt, lemon juice, mayonnaise, sour cream and the reserved chipotle puree. Process to combine thoroughly.
After onion is cooked on grill, grill old Bothwell cheddar on top of onions. The grilled cheese puts the meat and onions together nicely on the bun. Garnish with remaining ingredients.
*The chipotle puree can be spicy, so add less than 3 Tbsp (45 mL) to reduce the heat, if desired.
