Black Bean and Spinach Burger

This was delicious.  The portion could be split, however, into two burgers, to make it a little easier to handle on a bun!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked black beans, pureed
1/2 cup cooked spinach
Salt to taste
Cracked black pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix the ingredients thoroughly.  You may want to squeeze some water out of the spinach first.  Form a patty and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Flip and bake another 15 minutes.
