black bean burger with chipotle mayonnaise #KingsfordFlavor #cbias (AD) | Mama Harris' KitchenNow that grilling season is upon us, I’ve discovered that sometimes coming up with recipes for the family can be a bit difficult. Especially since RiRi has been a vegetarian since last Fall and the rest of the family loves our traditional grilling meals. I’ve played around with a few different recipes here and there that she’s been happy with, but I wanted to make her a black bean burger that even the meat eaters in our house can enjoy. Whenever we go out to eat she’ll always order a garden burger or veggie burger, and she tried one that was a black bean burger and really enjoyed it. So I decided I’d make it my mission to come up with my own that we can all love, no more making one meal for her and one for the rest of the family!

black bean burger with chipotle mayonnaise #KingsfordFlavor #cbias (AD) | Mama Harris' KitchenA few weeks ago we bought Mr. Harris a new grill. He deserved it, we saw it on sale and agreed this was an early Father’s Day gift. It was a great size, and charcoal only. We were excited about that!

Well, I also discovered that you can purchase a Kingsford Original Twinpack at The Home Depot between 6/18-6/21 for only $9.88!! That price is insane! It’s just about half the price of what it normally sells for and it’s just in time for Father’s Day, which is great for our family since we like to hang out at home and entertain in our own backyard. I figured since we’d already gotten the grill for Father’s Day, I’d stock up on some charcoal! Of course he was happy, it doesn’t take much.

black bean burger 22I went ahead and made RiRi her black bean burgers, but since they do have a bit of a kick to them I also made some hot dogs for the younger kids. This is a recipe my husband makes often and always receives many compliments. He actually marinates the hot dogs, and they are SO GOOD! So between the black bean burgers and the tasty hot dogs, we’re beginning our Father’s Day weekend early and just the way we like it. Good food and great family!

If you’re in the grilling mood this Father’s Day, you can head on over to your own The Home Depot for your bag of Kingsford Charcoal. Click here for the store nearest you.

Black Bean Burgers Ingredients:

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1/4 medium Granny Smith apple
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 can low sodium black beans – rinsed, drained, patted dry

Chipotle Mayonnaise Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1.5 teaspoon chipotle sauce

Build Your Burger:

  • hamburger buns, toasted
  • chipotle mayonnaise
  • romaine lettuce
  • black bean patty
  • colby-jack thin sliced cheese
  • hot house tomato, cut into thin slices
  • red onion, cut into thin slices

  • bbq sauce (optional)

Directions:

Remove all ingredients from the food processor and squeeze any excess liquid out. This will help the mixture not be so liquid. Place ingredients back in food processor and pulse 1-2 times with the crackers.

Once mixture is combined, divide into four sections and mold them into a patty shape on wax paper. Place on a flat surface on the wax paper and freeze for an hour. Once frozen, if you don’t plan on making them right away you can cut the wax paper with patties and store in freezer bags until ready to use. You can place them on the grill straight from the freezer, and this will help keep their shape.

If you’re still reading, I have a special bonus recipe for you! My husbands marinated hot dogs are always a winner, and I’m sharing the recipe here, in honor of him, for Father’s Day!

Marinated Hot Dog Ingredients:

  • 1 package of quality hot dogs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon St. Louis BBQ Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper.

Directions:

Place all of the hot dogs in a dish that has a cover. Make 3-4 cuts on one side of the dog about halfway through at a 45 degree angle. Pour each sauce on top of the dogs, then each seasoning. Once seasoned, roll the dogs around with the seasoning, being sure all sides are seasoned and some of the seasonings are worked through into the cuts.

Place on top rack of grill, in indirect heat, and turn after about 3-4 minutes until cooked to your liking. Enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!

Did you know that the third Sunday of July is considered National Ice Cream Day? 🍦Not that we need an excuse to enjoy our favorite treat!
