MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burger with Roasted Tri-Color Pepper Spread + Giveaway

Black Bean Burger 2

I continue my journey with MorningStar Farms this week by presenting you my own version of a delicious black bean burger for all your grilling pleasure.

This weekend, June 22nd-23rd, MorningStar Farms is making a stop at the Manayunk Arts Festival and serving their own spin of Chef Mitch Prensky's veggie burger slider as part of their "Feel Good Grilling" Tour. They have hit the open road to show America what feel-good grilling is all about and to serve up delicious, better-for-you burgers.

Who is Chef Mitch Prensky? He owns the restaurant called Supper which  serves seasonal farm-direct American cuisine located in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia. I cannot to know about the restaurant as I will be visiting on Thursday. :-)

Here is my recipe of a veggie burger with my own twist. This recipe can be used with the Spicy Black Bean patty or the Mediterranean Chickpea Patty. Here is what this baby looks like because you will definitely want more than ONE burger.
