About the Recipe

Even though the preparation for this meal seems time-consuming on a busy night, it’s so worth it.
The recipe will leave you with plenty of leftovers so you won’t have to do any cooking the next night.
These also beat the veggie burgers from the freezer section.

Getting it done:

1. Preheat broiler. In a small saucepan, combine rice and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 30-40 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, mash beans until almost smooth; stir in eggs, pepper sauce and seasonings. Pulse bran cereal in a food processor until finely ground; remove to a small bowl. Pulse vegetables and garlic in food processor until finely chopped; add to bean mixture. Add cheese and rice to food processor; pulse to blend, then add to bean mixture. Stir in ground cereal.

3. Shape mixture into eight 1/2-in.-thick patties; place on a greased foiled-lined baking sheet. Broil 4-6 in. from heat until browned, 6-8 minutes per side. Serve in buns. If desired, top with lettuce, tomato and onion.
