Black Bean Burgers
Updated: Jan 20, 2020
One of the first meatless foods my mom used to make for dinner when I was a kid, were black bean burgers. I love to eat veggie burgers, they are filling, fun to make, and a crowd pleaser at cookouts (trust me on this one). I love that you can pack so much into one patty and then just keep adding things on top. You also have so many options with black bean burgers because they are sold in stores as well, so don’t have to worry about always making a burger from scratch when you are in a pinch. Although when I’m cooking for a group I like to make this from scratch and show off my skills.
The other plus to this dish, is that you get so much protein and some vitamins from the carrots. This is wonderful, because you get to help your guests eat something delicious and nutritious at the same time. I love to add red onion, avocado, lettuce and BBQ sauce to mine. As for my husband loves to load his burgers up southwest style with the works, corn, jalapenos, vegan cheese, lettuce and vegan ranch. So there are many ways to give your burger your signature touch, and your guests will love to try out their combinations as well. Check out how to make this below and see how this classic black burger is made!
