Expert Tips

Legumes are loaded with plenty of fiber--the soluble kind. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet!

We honestly weren't too sure going into this meal (we joked about just going to Sonic instead) but my husband and son raved about this recipe! Since the consistency of the burger is similar to crab cakes, I formed the patties on wax paper, making the transfer to the skillet a lot easier. We topped the burgers with red pepper relish, a little BBQ, and spinach leaves and served sweet potato fries on the side. I will gladly make this again :)

It really did taste like refried beans on a bun. I was glad I bought SPICY chili beans. It worked out, but it's not something I'd make for anyone else to eat. I made a quick spicy sauce to give it more moisture and good flavor: light sour cream and a few dashes of cayenne pepper. Ate with spinach tomato on Sandwich Thins. Leftovers I ate on a salad (red onion, cheese, tomato, cilantro) and it worked. =) The flavors were good enough - just not a super-exciting meal.
