Although it is technically still summer, I think that we can all agree that when kids go back to school, it signals the start of fall. I am sad that summer is over because I had so much fun with my husband and kids but there is so many fun things to still look forward to in the fall. 


Lots of fun football events, trick-or-treating, apples, pumpkins, doughnuts and more! Tailgating is coming up as well and whether you like to tailgate at home or actually at a game, these black bean burgers will be perfect for your event!

Since the weather is still nice, we are still grilling all the time. Some favorites are marinated portobello mushrooms, grilled vegetables with an Asian marinade and spicy black bean burgers. The garden is still producing a bunch of vegetables and I included our homegrown tomatoes in this recipe. I also used summer squash from my dad's garden. It is fun to entertain in our backyard with the weather being a little bit cooler.

I made these burgers using slider buns, pepper jack cheese slices, store-bought spicy black bean burgers, lettuce and a grilled veggie loaded guacamole. I love guacamole and several months ago, I saw the idea to add chopped vegetables to it which I thought was a great idea.


I decided to grill the vegetables for more flavor. I added what vegetables that I had on hand including carrots, bell peppers, summer squash and red onion. You just chop the veggies as small as you can, grill them and mix them into your favorite guac recipe. So good!

For this recipe, used my favorite black bean burgers ever: MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burgers. We have been buying these for many years and I think that they are the greatest. It is no surprise that they are considered America's #1 veggie burger. We do eat meat but we also love vegetarian meals as well- everyone can enjoy these!



My husband, daughter, parents and siblings all love these too. I picked these up at Walmart where they carry lots of MorningStar Farms® products. I also picked up some of the MorningStar Farms® Garden Veggie Burgers which we love as well.
