I think this sounds interesting enoug to try---way better than red meat--I think my family won't go for it---so, do they freeze well?

It can freeze, if wrapped well. It's very good. You can also add your favorite liquid flavors to it. Experiment. Enjoy!

You are a mind reader! I was going to look for a black bean burger recipe this week - I LOVE the ones at Chili's - and have never made them. We go the easy way for burgers and just use Amy's - but I will be trying these before the week is over!
