BBQ Black Bean & Corn Burger

This beauty was inspired simply by my love for BBQ. There is definitely a need for a drenching amount of BBQ slathered all over many different foods during the summer, so why not a burger? So far this one ranks #2 out of 3 on Steven's vegan burger charts-not bad my juicy delicious sandwich!
