Sometimes I like to make a meatless meal to keep things
interesting. It’s easier on the budget and my waistline after binging on
holiday cookie for the last month. I haven’t found a black bean burger recipe
that truly satisfies. Most are southwestern style, which is fine, except they
usually need some help in the form of a slab of cheddar cheese – which doesn’t agree with
me.
I have nothing against the occasional premade meatless
burger. However, my little vegetarian niece, Miss M does. She says she doesn’t
like to eat real meat so why should she eat fake meat? The kid has a point.
I decided this is the perfect opportunity to create a tasty
black bean burger that fills bout our needs. Unfortunately, every burger and
meatloaf I make is soupy because it lacks a trans fat free crouton binder.
As a Budget Chef, I could most certainly make my own
croutons without all of the nasty stuff I don’t want my family to eat. As a
Lazy Chef with real world responsibilities, there isn’t always time to do so.
Let’s see how they taste, shall we?
