I happen to be the griller in my household. I rarely let my hubby do anything but light the grill for me, and I get very excited about grilling any chance I can get! Summertime obviously provides lots of grilling opportunities, and then when fall rolls around people tend to forget about it. I on the other hand embrace fall grilling because football is back on TV and what better way to watch the big game than to have a tailgate gate extravanganze at home (home-gating if you will)? What is tailgating without a little grill action, am I right? I love mixing up what I'm serving for gameday and my new favorite easy recipe to make is a grilled spicy black bean burger with charred poblanos and avocado crema!
These burgers are basically a little flavor explosion with every bite! Here is the thing, these burgers may be vegetarian, but I can assure you that even the meat eaters are your tailgate will not disapprove! I buy MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burger Value Pack, which is perfect for serving a group of hungry friends for the next big game! I throw them on the grill along with some poblano betters and whip up a delicious avocado crema, and I'm telling you it makes for the best burger! And no worries if you have a few guests who don't do spicy...I also love MorningStar Farms® Garden Veggie Burger which is equally delicious!
The Spicy Black Bean Burger: America's #1 Veggie Burger, gets it's name honestly! I love having these burgers on hand for an "as-is" meal solution on busy days! I strive to live a healthy lifestyle as much as possible and I can feel good about these veggie burgers any day of the week for a ready to go lunch or dinner! We are by no means vegetarians in our house, but we do enjoy vegetarian meal options from time to time, especially when they taste as good as these burgers do! I picked up a few bags for myself at Walmart to keep on hand for when busy days get the best of me!
Fall grilling has never been more fun than with a veggie burger that's a real flame changer! This recipe is sure to be a favorite at your next home-gating get together while you watch your favorite team! You will have to grill it to believe it!
