Ultimate Veggie Burgers

Ultimate Veggie Burgers This is a veggie burger that you can sink your teeth into! With a brilliant hue from shredded beets, and tons of fiber and flavor from shitake mushrooms, black beans, chipotle peppers, and spices they'll be sure to please the vegetarians and the omnivores in your group. I recommend topping them with jack cheese, spicy mustard, and banana peppers, but feel free to use your favorites!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 beets peeled and grated
  • 2 Tbs cider vinegar
  • 1 can black beans drained
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp steak seasoning
  • ½ tsp soy sauce
  • ¼ cup shitake mushrooms chopped
  • 1 chipotle in adobo chopped
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup oats
  • buns jack cheese, Dijon mustard, and banana peppers for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the beets and cook until heated through. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar.
  • Transfer the beet mixture into a large bowl. Add the next 7 ingredient (through the egg) and mix well. Add the oats, a little bit at a time, until the mixture becomes less wet and resembles a meatball mixture.
  • Use your hands to form the mixture into 6 patties . Don't be afraid to really work the mix to get the patties to form - I found that pressing it firmly in between my two cupped palms worked the best. Cook the burgers in a basket on the grill or in a very hot cast-iron pan until a nice, charred crust forms on the bottom. This took me about 10 minutes on the grill. Carefully flip the burgers over and cook another 5 minutes. If you're adding cheese, add it right after you flip the burgers, and cover them to help the cheese melt.
  • Serve the burgers on crusty buns with mustard and banana peppers.
