I always pull out this recipe when craving a black bean burger. I love how simple it is and how easily it can be dressed up with other ingredients! When cooking the patties, I like to place a slice of gouda on the patty for the final minute to get that perfect gooey texture. —Heather Karow, Burnett, Wisconsin
