Time 41m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup water
2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 green bell pepper, halved and seeded
1 onion, quartered
½ cup sliced mushrooms
6 cloves garlic, peeled
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce
½ cup dry bread crumbs, or as needed

Steps:

  • Bring the brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. Mash black beans in a large bowl with a fork until thick and pasty; set aside.
  • 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 black beans. Place the brown rice and mozzarella cheese in the food processor, and process until combined. Stir the mixture into the black beans.
  • Whisk together the eggs, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, and hot sauce. Stir the egg mixture into the black bean mixture. Stir in the bread crumbs, adding additional bread crumbs as needed until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide into 6 large patties.
  • Place patties onto the prepared foil, and grill until browned and heated through, about 8 minutes per side.

THE BEST VEGGIE BURGER



The Best Veggie Burger image

These veggie burgers are hearty, savory, and rich in meaty flavor, thanks to cremini mushrooms, rice, black beans, and walnuts. Your family may think you made them with real meat! The texture is a little softer than a beef patty, but a wonderful contrast to the beautiful, pan-fried crust that really stands up to the bun and toppings.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (16 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, cut in half
½ small onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8.8 ounce) pouch cooked brown rice, cooled
½ cup walnuts
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and repeat to cook remaining patties.
