Cooking... Homemade black bean burgers

I put together a few recipes for this one and wanted to document my final compiled recipe.

1 can black beans (rinsed and dried)
1/2 can corn (or frozen corn rinsed and dried)
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 onion
3 cloves garlic
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 slice of toasted wheat bread
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup (maybe more depending on moisture) of cooked brown rice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Blend the onions, bell pepper, and garlic in the food processor.  Add 1/4 cup oats and shred the toast and add.  Blend.  Add the 2 eggs, 1/2 of the cilantro, and spices.  Blend.  Add 3/4 of the beans and blend.  Put the blended mixture into a bowl and add the corn, remainder of beans, cilantro, remainder of oatmeal and rice.  Mix.  This should be kinda gooey and runny, but you shouldn't be able to pour it.  Spray a pan with oil and form patties (~5/6).  Put in 350-400 degree oven and bake ~10 min on each side until they are cooked all the way through.  There is a balance between cooking them and drying them out.
