Instructions
- Add the beans to a large mixing bowl. Gently pat beans dry with a paper towel. Using the back side of a fork or potato masher, mash beans until smooth and pasty.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat.
- When hot, add the oil, onion and garlic. Sauté 3 minutes then transfer to the bowl with the beans.
- In a small bowl, add the paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix until combined then add to the large bowl.
- Using the same small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and molasses until thoroughly combined.
- Add 3 tablespoons of the mixture to the large bowl and set aside the rest for basting during cooking
- In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process oats until fine.
- Add the oats to the large bowl with the beans, veggies and sauce.
- Add the rice, beets, beet juice and egg and mix everything until combined.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 patties, about 5 ½ ounces each. Place patties on a freezer safe plate and freeze for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can put them in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more.
- Heat a large flat skillet over medium heat. Spray with oil and, using a spatula, transfer patties to the skillet.
- Cook the patties for 5 minutes, carefully flip with the spatula, baste with the remaining sauce and cook an additional 5 minutes. Add cheese during the last 2 minutes, if using.
- With the spatula, place each patty on a bun and top with your desired toppings.
