Recipe(tried): Veggie Burgers (like J. Alexander's)

I also love the J Alexander's veggie burger! Here is a recipe I found and it is so close!! (I think that user error is in there somewhere!) I am still working on the sauce they use on the burger....enjoy and good luck!

VEGGIE BURGERS (LIKE J. ALEXANDER'S)

3 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 cup packed oatmeal
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup julienned carrots
1/4 cups diced onions
3 ounces canned beets, drained
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced red bell peppers
1/4 cup button mushrooms, cut in 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dry, ground chipotle peppers

Place all ingredients in large plastic mixing bowl and mix well. Run ingredients through a meat grinder. Refrigerate mixture for 1 hour.

Portion into 8-ounce patties, then press through a burger press with a piece of wax paper underneath and on top of each patty. Place burgers on plastic serving platter and refrigerate overnight. These keeps the burgers from falling apart on the grill. (Patties must never get above 40 degrees F or they will fall apart.)

On hot charcoal grill (550 degrees F), grill 3 minutes per side.

Makes 4 servings
