Black Bean Cheeseburger

BY Gabrielle Reyes

| Easy | Vegan | Gluten Free | Soy Free

INGREDIENTS

Bean Cheeseburger:

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup walnuts or sunflower seeds
  • ½ onion minced red onion
  • 3 tbsp steak seasoning
  • ½ tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • ½ cup chopped cooked red beets
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce

 

Garnish:

  • Follow Your Heart Dairy-Free American Slices
  • sliced tomatoes
  • sliced red onion
  • chopped lettuce
  • sliced pickles
  • toasted buns

 

Super Special Sauce:

  • 1 cup Follow Your Heart Soy-Free Vegenaise
  • ⅓ cup minced pickles
  • ¼ cup sugar-free ketchup
  • ¼ cup mustard
  • 1 ½ tbsp onion powder
  • 1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½-1 tbsp maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a food processor combine cooked brown rice, sunflower seeds, minced red onion, steak seasoning, chili powder, smoked paprika, cooked black beans, cooked beets, maple syrup, gluten-free breadcrumbs, and barbecue sauce. Pulse everything together until a thick dough forms. It should be a light pink color and you should have all the pieces well incorporated together. Add more breadcrumbs if necessary. 
  2. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, portion out equal sized patties of the dough using your hands to form a ball and lightly flatten them. Add the rolled patties to a lined baking sheet and put them in the freezer or refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 
  3. When you are ready to grill the bean burgers, place them directly on the grill and let them cook for 2-4 minutes on each side. 
  4. Using the Dairy-Free Cheese Slices, add a slice to the top of the grilled patty, cover it for 30-50 seconds while the cheese melts, and remove the covering. Set the burgers aside until you are ready to garnish them with buns and fresh elements. 
  5. Add the super special sauce ingredients into a bowl and mix together well. Garnish the cheeseburgers with super special sauce, sliced pickles, sliced tomato, chopped lettuce, sliced red onions, all on a toasted bun. 
  6. Sing your song, do your dance, speak your truth, and enjoy the vegan cheeseburgers!
