Equipment

Food Processor

Ingredients

1/2 cup bulgur wheat
1 cup water
15 ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup grated carrot

Instructions

Place the bulgar wheat and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for 13 minutes.
After the bulgur has cooked, place in a bowl and let cool.
Place the pinto beans in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Add the cooked bulgur, cheese, carrot, salt, garlic and onion powder to the beans in the food processor and pulse to combine.
Form mixture into 4 equal patties.
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Notes

To Freeze: After forming patties and before cooking, place patties on a baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour, then transfer to a zippered bag or other food-safe freezer container. Defrost in the refrigerator then follow recipe directions for cooking.

Prep ahead: You can prep veggie burger patties ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.

Don't Over-blend: When you food process the beans and other ingredients, ensure you don't over-blend. The mixture should be combined but still have some texture to it.

Chill the Patties: For firmer patties, chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Oil the Pan: Make sure the oil is hot before adding the patties to prevent sticking and to get that nice crispy exterior.
