MEXICAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS
My husband's a vegetarian so I love finding meatless recipes we all like. These burgers are not only easy to make, but they freeze well. We sometimes top them with chipotle mayo for a more smoky flavor. They're good with hot sauce, too. -Ellen Finger, Lancaster, Pennsylvania
