Who said burgers can't be fabulous just because they lack meat? This quick and easy kidney bean burger recipe is delicious, filling and can be trimmed up and glorified in any way you like. Just serve with potato wedges or chips, salad and a glorious array of toppings. Yum! Make extra and freeze them wrapped individually in greaseproof paper and then foil for easy cooking. If going camping, take them with you frozen to pop on the barbecue or over the fire when you get there.
