Try This at Home: How to Make Veggie Burgers

Ree's veggie burgers call for canned black beans, but you can make them with dried beans too. Find Ree's recipe for black beans here.

"Before I met my husband, I was a vegetarian. I don't make many meatless dishes on our cattle ranch, but I still love this one," says Ree.

Mash the beans: Using a fork, mash the beans in a medium bowl until they are mushy but still have some whole-bean pieces throughout.

Make the burger mixture: Mix breadcrumbs, grated onion, chili powder, egg, and some salt and pepper into the beans.
