Black Bean Salsa Burgers

Submitted by kitchengrrl

"This is based on a recipe I found in the prize tested recipes page of Better Homes and Gardens years ago. I doubled the recipe so that it uses a whole can of black beans. It's fast and easy, a great OAMC, since you can pull frozen patties from the freezer and have them ready to eat in 6 minutes if you have a Foreman Grill. A delicious way to sneak veggies into your burger!"
