If you've tried my Quinoa Burgers, this is another variation that tastes just as good. Instead of kidney beans and tomato paste, I used black beans and ketchup. Similar taste but a fun variation to have. 

I learned a pretty cool trick for making these veggie burgers. Once the mixture is ready to be formed into patty shapes, you can actually pack the mixture into a 1/3 measuring cup and then place that onto the pan. I smacked the measuring cup to get it out and it was a perfectly shaped patty. 

I served these burgers with my favorite brand of sliced vegan Cheeze - Miyoko's. I also tried a new kind of ketchup that uses agave syrup for sweetener instead of traditional sugar.
