What to make when it's a week before pay day and there is not much left in the fridge? Black bean burgers. They are quick, fast and tasty. I found this recipe in my new Weight Watcher's Magazine. I bought it at Border's with the hope that I'd make more figure friendly dishes. It sat on my shelf for quite some time. Not wanting to think I wasted ten bucks, I found a recipe and gave it a try. I found these quite satisfying. Next up lentil burgers!Ingredients: Serves Four
