  • 4 small beets cooked and peeled or about 1/2 cup diced
  • 1 can cannelloni beans - rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup button mushrooms chopped small
  • 1/4 cup white onion, diced small
  • 2 tablespoons gluten free AP flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1.5 tablespoons dairy free mayo, vegenaise
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, annie's brand is vegan

Optional Toppings

  • onion
  • tomato
  • avocado
  • dairy free cheese, daiya slices

Equipment

  • food processor
  • colander
  • skillet

Instructions 

  • Grab a large mixing bowl, add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans. Smash them using the back of a spoon or spatula.
  • In a food processor, chop the mushrooms and onion into small pieces. Combine with the smashed beans. Blend well.
  • Next, you’ll toss 4 cooked and peeled beets into the food processor, chop into small pieces. **The beets I used were each about the size of a golf ball. ** Blend well. Should be about 1/2 cup diced.
  • Add the chopped beets into the mushroom, bean and onion mixture, blend well.
  • Next, you’ll add the breadcrumbs, flour, nutritional yeast, onion powder, ground flax seeds, salt and pepper. Mix well using a spoon or spatula.
  • Form the mixture into burger patties. You will get about 10 slider-sized burgers. (I recommend smaller, thinner patties) If they are too thick the center is too soft.
  • Next, you’ll gently spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are browned on the outside. Set aside once they are cooked.

Make the Special Sauce:

  • In a small bowl combine the Annie’s Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and dairy-free vegenaise mayo. Blend well.

Assemble the Burgers:

  • Use a butter lettuce cup as the base.
  • Next, you’ll add your burger and top it with cheese, tomato, onion, avocado or any toppings you desire! Top with another butter lettuce cup and enjoy!
