Homemeade Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Submitted by HisPixie

"From Allrecipes. This recipe is flexible for modifications as you prefer...some like less cumin, some add corn, some prefer oatmeal to bread crumbs. I used the food processor for the entire recipe, formed into patties and let refrigerate for an hour before baking, flipping burgers halfway through cooking time. The patties were very sticky and I had to dampen my hands in between for form them. I also added canned corn (not pulverized)."
