Southern Baked Beans Recipe : Paula Deen. Vegetarian Spicy Black Bean Burgers. Can you believe summer is pretty much here?!

Vegetarian Spicy Black Bean Burgers

Last thing I knew I was eating a comforting stew on cool fall evening, and now I’m gearing up the grill for hot summer days and outdoor cooking! There’s almost always at least one vegetarian guest at a summer BBQ. It’s always delightful as that guest, not to feel as though anyone is making a fuss over you. That’s why I always like to have a vegetarian option at the ready!

These vegetarian black bean burgers are so easy to prepare, and so incredibly delicious to eat! Add whatever fixins you love and have on hand. Ingredients 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Olive oil Preparation.

I’ve tried a couple different stove top recipes in the past year but none of them really had the “wow” factor I was looking for.

Revolutionary Mac & Cheese

The neat thing about this recipe, is you simmer the noodles in the milk instead of using water then adding it at the end. It’s cheesy and the mustard gives it a nice depth of flavor. It still doesn’t top the blue box for me (I know, I know but I just can’t help that I love it so much) but it is a great homemade alternative. I also made it a bit lighter by using skim milk, reduced fat cheese, and whole wheat pasta. Feel free to go that route or use full fat ingredients for a super indulgent and decadent meal or side dish.

It is thick and sticky and gooey and sweet and transmits complete tomato essence to whatever you add it to. Plus, it's a great way to store a haul of tomatoes in a compact, useful fashion.

Oven-Dried Tomatoes

They are the same as sun-dried tomatoes, except that it doesn’t sound as fancy and the job gets done a lot quicker! While I was at the market last week, I was introduced to these seasonal tomatoes that appear for just two months in a year, so I bought myself a kilo of them.

That’s when I thought of drying them up in the oven to concentrate their flavour.
