BLACK EYED BEAN / BLACK-EYED PEAS CROQUETTES
You can do croquette or burger shapes, they'll still taste yummy! If you're vegan, leave out the cheese and egg. The 'time to make' doesn't include the time the mixture has to sit in your fridge! Goodness knows where I got this recipe from - the card I wrote it on dates from the early '80s!
