These Black Bean Sliders are easy to make, good for you and taste so good! (The directions are for slider size, but it’s super easy to increase the size to make Black Bean Burgers instead.)
I have a food bucket list…
It sounds kind of silly, but there are just so many recipes I want to cook! The difficult part is just finding the time (and energy) to make them.
I was leafing through a Food Network magazine and came across a recipe for black bean sliders. Black bean sliders are definitely on the food bucket list. I frequently buy the Spicy Black Bean Burgers from Morning Star Farms and my family loves black beans, so I knew this was a recipe I wanted to make.
They were so good! The consistency was a little different than the store bought versions (softer in the middle) but they were just as good. My daughter ate two, and my son (who had strep throat) ate his entire slider!
I adapted the recipe just a bit, by omitting a few of the spices and did not make the Avocado Mayonnaise (I am not a mayo person.) We did have some leftover guacamole, so we topped our burgers with that.
This is what the cooked patties looked like up close…
