Butter Bean Burgers

A friend of mine shared this recipe with me and I’m thinking I might try it, but I’m not telling CW what it’s really made of! LOL! I like black bean burgers so I will probably like these too. I think butter beans have a little sweeter flavor so it will be interesting to find out how the flavors will meld.j

Try it and let me know what you think!

Happy Eating!
