It’s totally budget and kid friendly.  Not all kiddos will like the Red Pepper Aioli but the Black Bean burger is just as easier served with traditional fare like ketchup. My family really loved this meal and with the leftover bean mixture (I only made 4 burgers) I made black bean tacos the next night, which was also a big hit.  I slathered mine in the Red Pepper Aioli. This {Read More}
