Emily @ My Failsafe Life Looking for a FAILSAFE burger that’s also vegetarian and filled with the good stuff? You’re in luck because these white bean and quinoa burgers are just that. Bonus because they also taste really good.
We are big time burger fans and generally have them at least once a week. But sometimes we all crave something less … meaty, which can be a bit hard on the FAILSAFE diet. That is, until I remember that beans are safe and make a delicious base for veggie burgers.
My go-to bean burger is the black bean burger. It’s quick and easy and I know that we all like it. That makes it a little hard for me to stray from the tried-and-true-nature of it all. I’m glad I did, though, because these white bean and quinoa burgers are tasty and have an added punch of nutrition thanks to the quinoa. And if you use red quinoa, you also get an added punch of color.
When I first made these, I topped mine with a white bean sauce. I don’t recommend it. (Too many beans…) I’d suggest using the pear + carob bbq sauce or the FAILSAFE dipping sauce instead. Both are much better choices for the bean burgers.
I was also pleasantly surprised when The Big Kid said she liked them. So I’m going to go ahead and call these kid-friendly. Because if MY kid likes them, I have a feeling most kids will like them.
