Editor’s Request: I don’t eat red meat, so I’m always happy to try vegetarian options, and a well-made veggie burger is a treat. The Silver Dollar Bar & Grill’s version is amazing, and I asked if they would share the recipe.

- 1 cup carrot, grated
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups red onion, chopped
- 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 1/4 cups cooked corn
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries, soaked in boiling water for 1 hour, drained and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions
- Cook brown rice according to cooking directions. After it is cooked, let cool on a sheet pan.
- Place zucchinis and carrots in a bowl and add olive oil. Toss to coat. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lay the vegetables out on the pan. Bake at 400 F for about 40 minutes, checking regularly to make sure they are cooked through and not burned. Let cool.
- Sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat until soft and golden brown. Add mushrooms and cook until all moisture has evaporated. Let cool.
- Once all ingredients have cooled, combine rice, zucchinis, carrots, onions, mushrooms, corn, cranberries, black beans and spinach in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, all spices, salt and pepper.
- Add the breadcrumb mixture to the vegetable mixture and combine well.
- Shape the mixture into patties.
- Place a small amount of olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for two minutes.
- Place on burger bun and serve with desired condiments.
