How To Make It

Chef’s Tips

If you are on a gluten-free diet, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.We used chipotle mayo on our burgers for a little kick, but you could also use our “secret sauce,” one minute mayo, garlic mayo, or whatever your heart desires.

Should You Soak Your Beans?

Soaked beans are easier on your digestive system and that, er, issue some of us have after eating. It also makes them take less time to cook! We definitely prefer to soak ours overnight for about 10-12 hours. To soak your beans, rinse them well in the sink (preferably in a colander). Add them to a large pot or bowl and fill water about two inches above the beans. Leave it overnight, and drain in the morning. That’s it!
