Black Bean BurgersJolinda Hackett
I love this recipe for black bean patties because its easy to make as well as tasty, two of my favorite qualities in a recipe! They aren't quite firm enough to toss on the backyard grill, but are good for an everyday meal. This veggie burger recipe is both vegetarian and vegan. Looking for more black bean burger recipes?

First time I had them, it was for lunch. That day I had them for dinner. The next day I had them for lunch. I had to stop myself from having burgers for dinner again that night, but within two days, I was having them again. These burgers are Addictive. I've had them with lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise, with only onions, with avocados, with cheese, with nothing on them, and they never last longer than a minute on my plate. I've tried them as Swedish beanballs as well, though I can't say I wildly recommend that… at least as burgers, they're incredible. PS: I come from Argentina, the land of meat-eaters. And I, being steak-obsessed, still think these burgers are amazing.
