Baby Bella burgers

I know, I know... It's been soooooo long since my last post, but in my defense I was working way too much and battling some very chronic bronchitis. Plus no one reads this blog. Anywhoooo.... I've been hunting for the perfect burger as a vegan for about two years now. And I've found it. Mind you, it's not the closest in taste or texture but it has the most delicious flavors of any vegan burger I have had yet to try. They can be a little tricky to stay in patty form but its so worth it. I usually just eat these wrapped in some lettuce and topped with a little sliced avocado.



1/3 c bread crumbs
8 oz cremini our baby bella mushrooms
12oz brown rice
1 tsp paprika
1tsp onion powder
1tsp garlic powder
1/3 c vital wheat gluten
2 tbsp Braggs Liquid Aminos
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp bbq sauce
Pepper


Preheat oven to 450 
Grind mushrooms in food processor
Stir in remaining ingredients and mash until wheat gluten becomes stringy, binding the mix together.

Shape into patties and lightly spray each patty with cooking spray,

bake for 7-10 minutes, or pan fry for about 3 minutes on each side over medium heat with a little cooking spray.
