Alliteration FTW!

Ingredients:

• 2-3 beets, chopped into small cubes
• 1 can black beans
• 1 small onion diced
• 1 bell pepper diced
• 1/2 c cooked rice (any variety)
• 1/4 c. BBQ sauce
• S + P
• 2T whole wheat flour or panko
• 1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400º. Line a pan in foil and coat beets in olive oil. Bake until soft. 30 minutes or so. Let cool a little. Sautee onion and pepper until tender and translucent. Add all ingredients to a large bowl, making sure things are on the cool side when you add the egg. Mix with your hands and form into patties. Place patties on a well-oiled lined cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. They WILL stick and fall apart if you don’t grease the pan well.

Bonus:

Blend an avocado, mayonnaise, cilantro, smoked paprika and lime together to make a nice spread for the burgers. Enjoy.
