So, you may be wondering what in the world a gal who raises grass fed beef as part of her livelihood is doing making vegan recipes.

To be honest, it does feel a little weird. But the fact is, beef isn’t free, even for me. And these burgers are the kind of thing that makes me think I could *totally* go vegan. I mean, with bean burgers this good, you wouldn’t even miss the meat.

Black beans are both nutritious, and super cheap – especially if you use dried beans instead if canned – and I’m a big fan eating more beans as a source of protein. In this recipe, they’re paired with rice, making these patties a source of complete protein, and adding a great texture.

I served these the other night with a vinegar coleslaw and fell in love with eating them together. Something about the sweet, tangy mix with the bean patty… Mmmm. Oh, and I eat my burgers bunless, with a fork – thus the picture of a naked burger up top there.

Gabriel eats his more like a traditional burger, with ketchup and pickles. Which brings up another point. Gabriel is a big meat eater – he doesn’t usually like sitting down to a meal that doesn’t include either meat or eggs, but with these burgers, he’s okay with going vegetarian for dinner. that really says something about how tasty these things are!
