    I've mentioned quite a few times that our family has 1-2 vegetarian nights a week. I love experimenting with new recipes for our meat-free nights and I have to tell you, today's southern style spicy black bean burger was a HUGE hit!

I decided to go straight southern, topping them with pimento cheese and some homemade fried onions!

    How to Make Homemade Fried Onions

    Making your own fried onions is super easy and fast-they are soooo tasty! Simply slice your onion into thin rings and let it soak in a bowl of milk for 5-10 minutes.

    Then coat the onions in some seasoned flour. I like to add garlic powder and white pepper to mine! After that you simply fry them until they are golden brown and allow them to rest on a paper towel covered plate before eating.

    Seriously easy right? They are the perfect topping for this burger. They add a punch of flavor and a bit of crunch to balance out the spiciness of the MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burger and the creamy pimento cheese!
