Hi Everyone! Do you feel Fall coming on yet? Labor Day is just past us but the official first day of Fall isn't until September, 22nd (2017). So let's enjoy the little bit of Summer we still have with these Tomato Basil Mozzarella Black Bean Burger Bites!
I picked up MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burger Value Pack and MorningStar Farms® Garden Veggie Burgers at Walmart in the frozen food aisle.
I also found all the other ingredients for this recipe at Walmart.
You can't go wrong with the flavor pairings of tomato, basil and Mozzarella - I love this flavor combination. Now, put that with these MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burgers and you have a flavorful, spicy and satisfying little bite.
Besides being the perfect tailgating food, I could see these Tomato Basil Mozzarella Black Bean Burger Bites being served at ANY gathering or holiday.
These bites take full advantage of the season as my garden is abounding with basil.
I will definitely miss having a garden over the Winter months.
I will have to do some sort of indoor garden so I can enjoy recipes like this all year round.
I have literally been eating MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burgers since I was in college.
Did you know that they are America’s #1 Veggie Burger?
My husband and I love to do 1-2 nights a week without meat in our dinners.
We love these Spicy Black Bean Burgers or other MorningStar Farms® veggie burgers and always have them in our freezer, just in case.
I garnished this plate with some basil flowers on the side, in case you don't recognize the garnish 🙂
Basil flowers are edible as well as the leaves.
They have a more subtle flavor.
I must stress the importance of blistering the tomatoes in the grill pan.
It totally changes the tomatoes and makes them sweeter but you also get some salty flavor in there due to the salt, pepper, and garlic.
Of course, you can totally cook the MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burgers in the grill pan or on the grill outside - no need to defrost!
This is very convenient if you are in a hurry and want your food right quickly.
I sprinkled more Kosher salt and a fresh ground pepper medley before serving.
Here are some large, step-by-step photos (in addition to the smaller photos in the recipe card below) of how to make these delicious Tomato Basil Mozzarella Black Bean Burger Bites:
I love how individual these bites are, the perfect size for your guests to grab one!
