2. Reserve marinade for brushing later.
3. Drain rinse and pat dry beans and mash them with a potato masher. Add the carrot, garlic, pepper, ketchup, herbs and egg and mix well. Start adding the bread crumbs a few tablespoons at a time and add until the mixture will stick together without sticking to hands if you roll it.
4. Make patties and arrange on plate and put in fridge until ready to cook or you can begin to cook on the grill on medium immediately.
5. Brush grill with olive oil and warm it up on med heat. With the leftover marinade brush it lightly on the tops and put this side down first on the grill and brush to tops for when you will flip them. Grill on each side for 4 mins
6. Add cheese and whatever other condiments you might like and hope you enjoy.
