- 6 ttbsp water warm
- 1 19 oz can black Beans 2 cups, drained and rinsed

- Prick the potatoes all over, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 8-10 minutes, until soft all the way through. When done, pull the skin off with your fingers , it will come off easily. Be careful, the potatoes will be hot.
- Add the black beans to a large bowl and use a fork or a potato masher to mash them up. Add 2 cups of sweet potato to the bowl along with the oats, onion, bread crumbs, jerk seasoning, and the flax mixture. Mix to combine.
- Divide the mixture into 8, and form 8 large patties, and put them on the pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes flipping halfway through.
- Brush the tops of the hot burgers with a thick layer of jerk BBQ Sauce. Serve them on a bun with all of your favorite toppings.
Notes
To save for later: Let the patties cool completely, then store in an air tight container in the fridge until ready to use. When ready heat up a BBQ and toss the burgers on for just a few minutes on each side to heat through. Brush the tops of the hot burgers with a thick layer of Grace Jerk BBQ Sauce. Pile on a bun with all of your favourite toppings and enjoy.
