World's Best Veggie Burger
Report
I can honestly say this is the World's Best Veggie Burger! I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true! It takes a little effort, but most really good things do. But you'll have enough to freeze and enjoy for weeks. Amazing!

Instructions
- Boil, steam, or microwave the potatoes until cooked, then roughly chop, and set aside.
- Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
- Line 2 baking sheets with foil and lightly spray with cooking oil. On the first sheet, add the beets on one side, and the beans on the other. Toss them with a little of the EVOO and salt and pepper.
- Place mushrooms on the 2nd baking sheet. Toss with the EVOO, thyme and salt and pepper.
- Place both baking sheets in the oven. Remove the beets/beans after 15 minutes and the mushrooms after 25 minutes.
- Pour the balsamic vinegar over the mushrooms and gently mix with a wooden spoon.
- Meanwhile, cook the bulgar. Follow package instructions. You'll need 1 cup. Set aside.
- Using a large food processor, pulse the nuts until finely chopped.
- Add in the cooked potato and pulse until well incorporated into the nuts.
- Add the beets, beans, mushrooms, bulgar, eggs, yogurt, bread crumbs, scallions, garlic, paprika, liquid smoke, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste.
- Pulse until mostly smooth, but still a few mushroom pieces are visible.
- Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and put in fridge for an hour to firm up.
- Remove from fridge and form patties.
- Cook on a hot grill, or in a medium-high hot skillet, until slightly browned (about 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on size of patties)
- Top with Swiss cheese until just melted.
- Toast the buns and serve garnished with tomatoes, lettuce, red onion and Chimichurri Mayo.
Notes
- Although these veggie burgers resemble real hamburgers, the texture is slightly different. The burgers are 'wetter' than meat burgers. Therefore, we find that cooking them on the grill in a gill pan, or a cast iron skillet will ensure they stay together in a patty shape. They also will firm up as they cook.
