Black Bean Beet Burger

• 1 cup Dry Black Beans, Cooked (Or Use One 15 1/2 Oz. Size Can Of Black Beans, Drained)
• 3/4 cups Dry Brown Rice, Cooked According To Package Instructions
• 13 cups Shredded Cooked Red Beets
• 1 cup Quick Oats
• 1 whole Small Onion, Diced
• 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
• 3 Tablespoons Water
• 2 Tablespoons Tahini
• 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 teaspoons Brown Mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoons Each, Salt And Pepper

1. If you havent already done so, cook beets, black beans (if not using canned) and brown rice in separate pans.
2. Preheat oven to 350 F.
3. When the black beans are cooked and tender, mash them in a large bowl.
4. Gently mix in all the other ingredients until incorporated.
5. The mixture will be slightly sticky and have a lot of texture, not smooth.
6. Divide the mixture into the size and amount of burgers desired (I made 6).
7. Flatten them to an even consistency.
8. Lay the burgers on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
9. Remove from oven.
10. At this point you can freeze them for future meals or fry them on the stove in a griddle pan with a little olive oil until the sides are crisp and griddle lines form on each side.
11. This will only take a few minutes per side.
12. Top with avocado, salt, pepper, salsa...anything you would likeits your burger!
