Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine well.

With a potato masher (or your hands) mash everything together well until the mixture is sticky.

Form into patties and place on a lightly oiled sheet pan (or one lined in parchment paper if you don't use oil).

Bake for 15 minutes at 350 F.

Allow to cool and store in a covered container.

When preparing to serve, sear the patties in a skillet on both sides and top with a piece of vegan cheese.

Place under the broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

When the cheese is melted, place on a bun of your choice and top with lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced onion, pickles, mustard and ketchup.
