So after chit chatting with him , i thought .. let&#8217;s give a meatless monday a try . Needless to say , last monday i decided we all going to have meatless day . Yes , breakfast , lunch and dinner without meat . It wasn&#8217;t an easy task , especially when i had some protein goal to reach , and it&#8217;s always harder to reach protein goal without the meat . I obviously had no issue going over the carbs with meatless monday . Not that i don&#8217;t like veggies , i do love veggies , i actually eat vegetables in every meal , well except breakfast , i hardly have any breakfast anyway . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So , last week , we decided we&#8217;re just going to try this black bean burger , we also had leftovers frozen black bean burger that we bought from Aldi months and months ago , we used it for lunch to be eaten with veggies . Now the dinner , i actually followed this one recipe from Sally Baking Addiction . My husband sent me a link to cooking light for black bean burger , i didn&#8217;t look or do any research until the next day . That&#8217;s how i found out the tips and trick to make a delicious black bean burger .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This black bean burger was really good , not that it would replace meat by all means because let&#8217;s face it , beans are beans and they don&#8217;t have the same texture or flavor as beef or chicken . I wasn&#8217;t expecting it anyway . I knew i was going to have bean . My teenager was a little suspicious when i offered it is vegetable burger , i didn&#8217;t tell him straight it was beans , until he had a bite and he said it tastes like beans . Well then , i told him it is black beans with veggies . I wasn&#8217;t lying . It had onion , bell pepper which is vegetable anyway . My husband actually was quite surprised that it tastes pretty good ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9061\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/?attachment_id=9061\" class=\"wp-image-9061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-1140x1520.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_191151-01-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9059\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/?attachment_id=9059\" class=\"wp-image-9059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-1140x1520.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200622_190909-01-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was easy to make to , i pan fried it instead of baking or grilling them .
