Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers (was:Newbie

[Guest guest]

Gary,

 

I make a black bean burger close to this recipe and I have added all kinds of

things. I have put in corn, mixed veggies, instead of two cans of black beans I

have used one can and used either pinto beans, butter bean or kidney beans. I

have also put in celery, mushrooms. That is the one think I love about my own

burger recipes, the possibilities are endless.

 

Hugs,

Mindy

him all ready to eat, he wouldn't chose it himself, but he's pretty good about

trying new things.
