Jeff Novick Bean Burgers

Also makes good veggie loaf. Thanks to Brand New Vegan.

Ingredients

• 2 cans kidney beans
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup brown rice (cooked)
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash

Instructions

1. Rinse and drain the beans thoroughly and then place them in a large bowl.
2. Mash them well until you almost get refried beans. It's OK to leave some chunks in.
3. Add the oatmeal, rice, sauce, and spices.
4. Make sure your hands are clean and dig in - mix and squeeze.
5. Once mixed well - form and shape into patties.
6. Important! Place the burgers on a plate in the fridge and forget about them for at least 20 minutes. This allows them to set up and get firm.
7. Grill both sides (5 minutes or so).
