If you've been reading this blog for awhile, then you know how much I love MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burgers. They are my very favorite veggie burger. They are so delicious and you will not miss the meat at all.
Troy and I are not vegetarians but we love to include many vegetarian meals in our diet. It is healthier, less expensive, less time consuming than if we forgot to defrost meat and need a meal quickly and are often tastier. We eat veggie burgers about once per week for dinner. I take them about 2-3 times per week for work for lunch on top of a bed of salad or roasted vegetables.
Last year, I shared my recipe for chipotle black bean burgers using the recipe that the corporate chef from my job shared with me. The corporate chef and corporate dietitian from my work are two meat-loving men and they both like this veggie burger if that tells you something.
