Hi...
We loved the red bean and rice burgers....and they are so healthy for us too! I love kidney beans any way I can get them!
I put the burger on a seedless rye sandwich thin (made by Arnolds). They make a great bun....just thin enough to hold the burger, but not so big that you can't taste anything except bread!
The recipe made 4 burgers and the two of us ate all of them! Yum! We had tomato slices, red onion slices, and some fresh spinach leaves to put on the burgers.
Enjoy!
