Amazing Black Bean Burger Patties
Black Bean Burger Patties are IN!
Vegan burger patties have become popular over the years as a healthier alternative to traditional meat burgers. I made black bean burger patties in my farm-to-table culinary course a few months ago. I was hesitant to try it because I haven’t been the biggest fan of eating beans. However, since culinary school, I’ve learned to enjoy beans, specifically this black bean burger patty. Mmm, mmm!
