Sweet Potato and Red Kidney Bean Burger Recipe

This recipe came about when I had both baked sweet potato and a container of kidney beans in the fridge. I never thought about combining these two ingredients until I saw a bean burger recipe and voila, this happened. I ate this burger with some coleslaw but it is delicious on it's own. Give it a try,you won't be disappointed.
