One of the best and easy to make black bean burger recipes : healthy, protein packed, homemade

I know a good chunk of you that look at this recipe will be vegan or vegetarian. I am not close to either of those things, but I do love a good black bean burger! Black beans are filled with protein comparable to beef, but not as fat heavy. This recipe can be put together in a few minutes and is perfect for someone like my family that doesn’t really meal prep or plan ahead, but just looks to see what we have and come up with something.
