"Heartbeet" Vegetable Burgers

Loved these. I didnt have whole wheat bread crumbs so I used what was in the cupboard. Golden beets may be a little tricky to find.. I only found them in organic vegetable area, not with regular vegetables. The almonds were the best part of the trail mix I used in the burger so next time I will use a higher ratio of those I think.. I had these cold too during 110 degree weather.. yum

As this recipe is, the burgers are too mushy. I do really like the taste, though! I gave it 4 stars only with the following changes. Use only 1-1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes. Drain the beets. I think these two mod's will provide for a firmer burger. Other than that, they are delicious!

My favourite veggie burger!! I substituted regular for the golden beet. Thanks for having Cook's notes, they were helpful. The trail mix is flexible, which is nice. I prefer to make 12 burgers with this recipe so they aren't as thick (then they are a bit firmer too) - that could be just a personal preference or because I might've had too many beets or sweet potato.
