Instructions
In a pot of boiling salted water, cook mixed vegetables for 15 minutes.
Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again.
Using a hand mixer, in a large bowl, process the white beans with the vegetables and oats.
Add chili powder and season generously.
Preheat the oven to 450 oF (230 oC).
Make 4 large patties with the vegetable mixture.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, turn patties and cook for another 10 minutes or until crispy and golden.
Toast the bread in a toaster or in the oven by placing them directly on the grill.
Put mayonnaise on the 12 slices of bread.
On a work surface, place 4 slices of the bread.
To each one, add in the following order: 1 veggie burger, 1 lettuce leaf, a 2nd slice of bread with mayonnaise (mayo side facing the lettuce, spread more mayo on the other side), 3 slices of bacon, sliced tomato, finishing with a 3rd slice of bread with mayo (mayo side on the tomatoes).
Put skewers or toothpicks into the sandwiches to hold them in place and cut an X into the stack to make triangles.
