Lentil Burgers
Yes, I turned another bean into a veggie burger. Technically lentils are not beans, but they make an awesome base for veggie burgers all the same. My standard veggie burger concoction of mashed beans, oats and veggies did not disappoint in this version. You can serve this Lentil Burger on a Quick Burger Bun with all the burger toppings, but it is so good you can pull it off with just some greens, avocado, tomato and Balsamic Blooming Onions. Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is great on these too. You can make mini ones and serve them cold in a picnic with chili ketchup or mustard to dip.

Any kind of Veggies work well in this. You can use canned Lentils, but I plan this to have leftover lentils already cooked. Fry on the stovetop or bake in the oven
