Black Bean Burgers

I have tried a lot of veggie burger recipes and some have been disappointing – dry, crumbly and sometimes tasteless.

These are the best I have ever made. Full of flavor, they keep their shape during cooking and are packed full of protein. If your grilling days are over for the year, they can be cooked in a skillet on the stovetop or under a broiler (oven grill) instead.
