Just made my own version of Veggie Burgers for lunch - fully vegan....recipe below
they turned out great! I can share the recipe if anyone is interested....
OK - these are a variation of one I found on line (and made much healthier)..this makes 8 good sized burgers.
1/2 large onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cubed
2 cloves peeled garlic
2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into chunks
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4 inch cubes
1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa or a mix
1 can black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn
spices, use to taste: cumin, garam masala, salt, black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes
bread crumbs (brand of your choice)
Using a small food chopper, finely chop the onion, pepper, and garlic and celery - place into a hot non-stick frying pan over medium high and stirring often, start sauteing (no oil, you can use just a bit of water if it sticks). Chop the carrots in the processor fairly fine - add to the saute. Add the potatoes, then add the corn and peas - season with black pepper, salt, paprika, red pepper and garam masala (we used half a dozen grinds of pepper, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp red pepper, and 1 tsp garam masala - curry powder would work OK as well). Stir well for about 5-7 minutes - this should give up some liquid, helping it not stick - and even the potatoes should end up firm/tender.
Meanwhile, put half the can of black beans into the chopper and pulse until fairly fine - a few chunks are OK - place in a bowl, add the whole, unchopped black beans, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, and the rice and/or quinoa - mix well, add 1 tsp cumin and another tsp garam masala. Add the sauteed veggies (OK if still hot) - blend it all up.
Spread bread crumbs onto a cutting board or plate - scoop the mixture with a large spoon, form into a patty with your hands, place on the crumbs - sprinkle more crumbs on the top - pat gently to firm down, and using a spatula, carefully transfer onto a baking sheet. Repeat until you have 8 veggie burgers.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or so - raise to 425 for another 5 minutes to brown them if needed.
Once they cool, you can freeze them in plastic freezer bags (be gentle until they are frozen) as well.
If you make them, let me know what you think! By using chile powder, cayenne and more cumin, instead of garam masala, you can make them Tex Mex flavored, I am sure....that's for next time!
Feel free to play around with the spices. I was going to use a bit of soy milk to help them hang together but forgot to -and they didn't need it - though they are quite fragile (we ate them on a bed of spinach with chopped tomatoes, instead of as a sandwich).
Enjoy! We are developing so many good things to eat on this Engine 2 28 day Vegan challenge!

and I like what you did with serving on spinach. I love veg stuff but have a problem eating it when it's used as a substitute for something I eat. Does that make sense? 
when I don't have the kids. Will let you know they turn out.
