Pinto-and-Rice Burgers | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

I love a good, classic hamburger, but sometimes I just want something a little lighter. That's why I love these easy pinto-bean burgers. They don't weigh me down, but they're still filling and flavorful enough to satisfy a serious burger craving. They're made with canned pinto beans, but you could also use black, white, or red beans -- whatever you have on hand.
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
Don't forget to check out the video. I'll show you how to form the burgers without getting your hands messy and the best time to top the burgers with cheese so it melts perfectly. Wait 'til you see how golden and delicious they look!
