Bean Patty Recipe
I get so excited when one of my vegetarian meals turns out well. I am still learning to cook that way and many times my vegetarian meals DO NOT TURN OUT!
A serving (1/3 cup of cooked beans) contains around 80 calories, no cholesterol, lots of complex carbohydrates and little fat. Additonally, beans are a good source of B vitamins, potassium and fiber, which promotes digestive health, relieves constipation and may even help prevent colon cancer and reduce blood cholesterol (a leading cause of heart disease). My favorite part? Beans are cheap!
Note: I use dried beans whenever possible. It really does make a HUGE difference in how fresh things taste. To learn how to prep the dried beans in the slow cooker to use for this recipe, click here.
