Scrumptious Veggie Burgers
- 1 cup Uncooked Instant Brown Rice
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Northern Beans, Drained And Rinsed
- 1 whole Green Bell Pepper, Halved And Seeded
- 1 whole Medium Onion - Quartered
- 1/2 cups Sliced Mushrooms
- 6 cloves Garlic, Peeled
- 3/4 cups Shredded Pepperjack Cheese (or Mozzarella)
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce (any Kind..I Like Sriracha)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1.
- Cook rice according to package directions 2.
- Mash beans in a large bowl with a fork until thick and pasty; set aside.
- 3.
- Place the bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor, and chop finely.
- Stir the bell pepper mixture into the mashed beans.
- 4.
- Place the cooked brown rice and cheese into the food processor, and process until combined.

- 5.
- Whisk together the eggs, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, and hot sauce.
- Stir the egg mixture into the bean mixture.
- 6.
- Stir in the bread crumbs, adding additional bread crumbs as needed until the mixture is sticky and holds together.
- 7.
- Divide into individual patties; I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make equal sized patties and get anywhere between 15 to 20 patties.
- (These freeze beautifully!
- Simply wrap individually in plastic wrap, and they will last practically forever in the freezer!)
- When ready to prepare them: Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes per side.
- (No need to thaw first if frozen- just put them straight from the freezer into the hot pan).
- Serve any way you like!
- *These are very verstatile- change up the type of beans, cheese and seasonings to suit your taste.
