You won't miss the beef when you bite into these black bean burgers topped with melty pimento cheese. Perfect for game day or a party.
Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Spread the beans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and leave in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the beans begin to open. Take out of oven and let cool. (You can leave the oven on if you want to toast the buns.)
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients--from the beans to the mayonnaise--in the patty ingredient list. The mixture will seem moist and this is okay. This will help the mixture hold together. Form into patties. There should be enough for ten slider buns.
Heat one or two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for two to three minutes on each side or until the burgers are golden with crisp sections on the surface.
Toast the buns in the oven for a few minutes if desired.
Assembly: Spread a little mayonnaise on the bottom of each slider bun before laying the black bean patty. Spread pimento cheese spread on top (as little or as much as you like) then put under the broiler just until the cheese melts. Take out of the oven and place pickled jalapeños and lettuce on top before topping with the bun. Serve warm.
