Introduction

These are very good. My family debated over what type of meat these burgers were made with. They were very surprised when I told them there was no meat. These are very good.

Ingredients

    1/2 cup uncooked lentils
    1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
    1-1/2 cups carrots, finely grated
    2 cloves finely minced garlic
    1 cup uncooked oatmeal
    1 small onion, finely minced
    5 T parmesan cheese
    (I use taco seasoning recipe I found on SP)
    Taco Seasoning
    2 tablespoon Chili Powder (check ingredients, no salt makes low sodium)
    4 t onion powder
    2 t ground cumin
    2 t garlic powder
    2 t paprika
    2 t ground oregano


Directions

Cook lentils and rice in 2 cups water for 45 minutes, simmering over low heat in a covered pan. Allow to cool.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well. I let these sit in fridge over night as they tend to fall apart. You have have to adjust the parmesan cheese for a little more "glue" Shape into patties and cook on griddle or pan (may spray with non-stick spray) over medium heat, until nicely browned (If you turn too soon they will fall apart)
