Black Bean Burgers
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 6 servings.
My son encouraged me to come up with a good veggie burger for him, and he gave this recipe a triple A+! Not only are they moist and flavorful, but they’re very easy to freeze. Now, like my son, I prefer them over meat burgers.
