Meatless Monday: Northstar Burgers

These burgers rock.

Even avowed carnivores love the taste, and perhaps the look, of these black bean and rice veggie burgers.  While they aren't the exact same as a Northstar Cafe Burger (that recipe is the most closely guarded secret of Columbus), it is my best attempt at mimicking the best veggie burger in town.



Here's this week's Meatless Monday recipe and here is your grocery list:

Produce:
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
fresh beets (or buy jarred/canned)
lettuce

Grocery:
jarred/canned beets (or buy fresh)
brown rice
1 -15oz can black beans -OR- 1 3/4 cups cooked black beans
buns

Pantry:
olive oil/vegetable oil
soy sauce
balsamic vinegar
dried parsley
dried thyme
salt
pepper
flour

Lastly, Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!  Enjoy your day and know that YOU are very special to your sweet peas.

Life is sweet,
SPC

Jessica,
I found and tweaked a veggie burger recipe that is really close to the Northstar Burger, too. I'll give it to you and you can tell me what you think.
