Bean & Rice Burgers

Ingredients

1 c Cooked brown rice
1 1/2 c Cooked beans -- pink,
-kidney, navy,
1/2 c Wheat flour (or white)
1 tb Margarine or butter
1 md Onion -- diced
1 Clove garlic -- mashed
1 tb Spike or seasoning salt
-----OPTIONAL-----
1 c Cooked mashed potatoes
1/2 c Cornmeal
1/2 c Bran
1/2 c Cracked wheat
1 sm Pepper -- diced
1 Grated carrot
Preparation

Heat greased (I use cooking spray) grill or
electric frypan on med heat. ***Or, you can

grease a 13"x9" glass baking pan and bake at
350* for 30 Min. Just spread mix in pan and

cook uncovered. Use a pancake turner to cut
and remove cooked 'burger'.*** Mash beans. Add

all ingredients and mix well. (If you use all
of the ingredients listed your mix may be a

bit dry. You might want to add a 1/4 to 1/2 cup
of soy, nut, or rice milk. Of coarse you also
could use whole milk. Be sure you don't thin it
too much or it will be mushy. Look for a 'hamburger'
consistency.) Spoon about 2 heaping Tablespoons of
mix onto grill or frypan for each burger and flatten
with greased pancake turner. Turn several times rather
than just once on each side like conventional burgers,
they have a better texture that way.
