On the show I used this homemade black bean recipe, but it's much easier just to crack open a couple of cans of seasoned black beans. So if you have a last-minute hankering for black bean burgers, you don't have to wait four hundred years while you cook a batch from scratch. If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. Place sauteed mixture in a large bowl with the remaining ingredients (except beans). Stir together & then add the black beans.
