Recipe Notes

Personal note: 
I am NOT a fan of beets, but thought I would give this recipe a try anyway. I don’t hate it. Frankly the guacamole on the top was the redeemable feature. So I will be using this recipe again. I found that it didn’t hold together as a patty too well, but for being meatless, it is understandable. 
Don’t be afraid to try this one, I was suprised.
