Our June recipe of the month, Black Bean Burgers, is sure to surprise you.  My children love these burgers and eat them just the same as they would a burger made with ground meat.  

I make these burgers for my family again and again, and here is why:

• They are inexpensive – using beans as a substitute for ground meat saves us money.
• They are quick in a pinch – on nights when we are busy or time gets away from me, I can make these burgers in about 15 minutes.  I try to keep a can of black beans in my pantry for times like this.
• They are easy – mash the ingredients together with a fork, form them into patties, and cook them in a skillet.
