Spicy Black Bean Burgers image

I tried this recipe after finding it on the internet, hoping to convince my family to eat vegetarian every now and then. It worked! It worked so well, they didn't even know there wasn't any meat in their burgers! This is nice and spicy and gets a lovely crust on it. This is vegetarian and vegan. You don't even need to serve it on a bun if you like! If you don't mind the cheese, it's great with a little shredded cheddar on top. Prep time includes 2 hours chilling.
