Black Bean Burgers

Black Bean Burger
These black bean burgers are so easy to make any night of the week. I think they're best served with avocado or guacamole, but just about anything is great. Maybe even a grilled pineapple ring, if you're into that sorta thing. This recipe calls for cooked rice, so be sure you have some on hand before you get started. Also note: Since there's such a wide range for nutritional information on rolls and buns, it's not included in the nutritional information for this recipe.

    Yes, absolutely. I would put some freezer paper or parchment between each before freezing. Let us know how it goes 🙂

    Hi Dee - We're having a small issue with the nutritional info. loading. It should be fixed up by the end of the day! Sorry about that.
