This Spicy Black Bean Burger recipe is a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional beef burgers. The black bean patties are packed with protein and fiber, and the addition of Granddaddy's Secret Sauce gives them a zesty and tangy flavor. The diced vegetables add a crunchy texture and a pop of color to the patties. Serve these burgers with your favorite toppings and a side of sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
