Ingredients:





     1 c  Cooked brown rice


 1 1/2 c  Cooked beans -- pink,


          -kidney, navy,


   1/2 c  Wheat flour (or white)


     1 tb Margarine or butter


     1 md Onion -- diced


     1    Clove garlic -- mashed


     1 tb Spike or seasoning salt





----------------------------------OPTIONAL----------------------------------


     1 c  Cooked mashed potatoes


   1/2 c  Cornmeal


   1/2 c  Bran


   1/2 c  Cracked wheat


     1 sm Pepper -- diced


     1    Grated carrot





 Heat greased (I use cooking spray) grill or electric frypan on med heat.


 ***Or, you can grease a 13"x9" glass baking pan and bake at 350* for 30


 Min. Just spread mix in pan and cook uncovered. Use a pancake turner to cut


 and remove cooked 'burger'.*** Mash beans. Add all ingredients and mix


 well. (If you use all of the ingredients listed your mix may be a bit dry.


 You might want to add a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of soy, nut, or rice milk. Of coarse


 you also could use whole milk. Be sure you don't thin it too much or it


 will be mushy. Look for a 'hamburger' consistency.) Spoon about 2 heaping


 Tablespoons of mix onto grill or frypan for each burger and flatten with


 greased pancake turner. Turn several times rather than just once on each


 side like conventional burgers, they have a better texture that way.
