BGR Veggie Burgers

Summary:

BGR owner Mark Bucher developed these with his vegetarian wife in mind. Molasses and barbecue sauce give them a savory, deep flavor and also help caramelize their edges when they are pan-fried. Baking them before frying helps them hold together and prevent a mushy interior. (After baking, you can also grill these over direct heat, if desired.)

MAKE AHEAD: The baked patties can be wrapped in plastic wrap, sealed in plastic freezer bags and refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to six months. Thaw them thoroughly before pan-frying. The sweet potato can be roasted and the brown rice and black beans cooked and refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to six months.
