  • Stir until everything is combined, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.

  • Form the bean mixture into patties slightly larger than the buns you're using. These patties won't shrink when you cook them.

  • Turn the patties over gently and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
  • Add your cheese to each patty, and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Place patties on buns and top with your favorite burger fixin's.
  • Enjoy!
