      Yield: 12 servings 
  
    1/2 c  Dry garbanzo beans 
    1/2 c  Dry soybeans 
    1/2 c  Dry lentils 
    1/2 c  Yellow split peas 
    1/2 c  Instant brown rice 
    1/2 c  Rolled oats 
      1 pk Dry soup mix or 
           Salad dressing mix 
    1/4 c  Bread crumbs 
    1/4 c  Cornmeal 
  1 1/2 ts Baking soda 
  
  Put the ingredients one by one in a blender.  Turn on the blender.  Run for 
  cover (it's pretty noisy).  When everything is reduced to powder, combine i 
  a container.  To use, mix 1 cup of the mix with 2/3 cup HOT water or 
  combination of water and BBQ sauce, water and wine, or whatever other liqui 
  you can think of. Let sit 15 minutes, then form into 3 patties. Cook in a 
  pan coated with nonstick spray. NOTE: If you use BBQ sauce as part of the 
  liquid, they wi brown much faster - must be the sugar in the sauce. This 
  recipe makes 4 cu of dry mix. 
   
   The variations for this are endless, as you can use different dry mixes. 
  Good Seasons makes fat free dry salad dressing mixes, and there are lots of 
  different flavors of soup mix (I think onion soup would be good).  You coul 
  also use the dry seasoning mixes, like the taco seasoning, etc. Some of the 
  are fairly high in sodium, but I would think that in a quantity of mix, it 
  would average out to an acceptable level.
