Method

In a large bowl, mash the kidney beans with a fork until slightly chunky.
Stir in brown rice, bell pepper, onion, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and thyme until well combined.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
While the patties cook, sauté the mushrooms in a pan with a bit of oil until tender.
Caramelize the onions by cooking them slowly over low heat until golden brown.
Toast the burger buns and assemble each burger with a patty, mushrooms, caramelized onions, lettuce, and tomato slices.
