Option to a Beef Burger!...SWEET TATER BLACK BEAN BURGERS!

yum.  plain and simple!

AS THE STUDENTS LEARN BACKYARD GARDENING, WE ALSO WANT THEM TO BE CREATIVE IN LEARNING TO COOK FAMILY MEALS WITH WHAT IS HARVESTED!

THIS RECIPE WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, AND WELL-LIKED BY 95% OF THE COWPOKE COOKS! (WE DID SUBSTITUTIONS OR REMOVED A VEGGIE HERE AND THERE, ONE GROUP ALSO OPTED TO PUT THE 'LESS-LIKED' VEGGIES IN A BLENDER SO THEY COULD 'NOT SEE IT', IN THE FOOD!  IT WORKED, AND THANKS TEAM FOR STILL GIVING SOMETHING NEW A TRY : ).
