Black Bean and Beet Burger

(0)
"This recipe is packed with vegetables and is easy to put together with ingredients you have in your pantry. You can use leftover rice to bind everything together. Substitute with canned black beans if you don't have fresh. Once the patties are made, keep in the fridge to make it firm. The patties can also be made ahead and fried just before you need it."
