BLACKBEAN VEGETARIAN BURGERS

December 5, 2018 36 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Happy new month everybody, December is here and I am yet to find where my tree is and when to start all the decorating. Meanwhile, my son has decided to stop eating meat and be a vegetarian, so what does that call for? More recipes and cooking involved which is all good since I do love trying out recipes. This past weekend I decided to make some blackbean vegetarian burgers for him to try out and it was a success. He claims not to like beans but he didn’t even notice that he was having them. If you missed my juicy oven baked turkey burgers post and video do check it out here, and do subscribe to my channel. Here is the recipe for them.
