The Ultimate Bean and Mushroom Burger

From the blogger: "This Ultimate Bean & Mushroom Burger passes the test! It won’t fall apart and it’s hearty, satisfying, smoky, and bursting with a rich umami flavor! We all know that a good veggie burger is hard to come by. We’ve all experienced the patty that’s falling apart, dry as the desert, and just sad. Well, you don’t have to worry about that here. This Bean & Mushroom Burger is hearty, meaty, and satisfying!

"This burger gets a nice meaty texture from the mushrooms. They also provide a nice amount of moisture to prevent the desert-like patty we want to avoid. I sauteéd them in onions and garlic to bring out their rich umami flavor. I smashed white beans into the mix to balance out the mushroom texture. It adds smoothness and helps hold the patties together too. Also, it adds a nice amount of protein and fiber for a satisfying meal. I added oats, ground walnuts, and short-grain rice to enhance the meaty texture, and absorb some extra moisture from the mushrooms. They add a nice bite to the patties and make them extra hearty."
