Burgers are always well received and my little family love them. I felt a bit unsure about this recipe as it doesn’t look that appetizing when it’s on the plate. My feelings were proven very wrong. Again as it was a burger my husband Howard and son Ted really enjoyed them.
The recipe is another classic I collected from our holiday to Tenby in Wales this year. On our last night we went to a burger restaurant in the middle of the town. Sadly it was the last night they were open as they were moving location. They wouldn’t be opening the new restaurant for a few weeks and I can’t remember the name.
However they served me the most delicious burger with lots of tomato relish and homemade mayonnaise. It was so yummy that when I got home I decided to make my own version of this scrummy burger. At this point I was keeping my fingers crossed my family would eat it. They did and it’s definitely one we would eat again.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers were a big hit in our house. Howard and Ted thought they were delicious and I loved them too. We ate this meal with a delicious salad but you could have it with my homemade coleslaw too. However you decide to eat these meals, as always, enjoy.
