Ingredients

• 1 Teaspoon Oil
• 1 Teaspoon Butter
• 1 small yellow onion, sliced
• 3-4 baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4 cup dry quinoa, cooked according to instructions
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 Tablespoons Flour
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 3 Tablespoons BBQ Sauce, divided
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and oil, heating up until shimmering
2. Add the onions and mushrooms, toss to coat, and spread evenly over the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 30-40 minutes more, stirring often, so they don't stick and burn to the bottom. Set aside.
3. While the caramelizing is going on, Scrub your sweet potatoes, poke with a fork, and pop in the microwave for 10-12 minutes, or until soft all the way through.
4. Peel away the skins of the sweet potato and mash it together in a bowl. Add the cooked quinoa, flour, paprika, 1 Tablespoon of the BBQ Sauce, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix together and form into patties.
5. Re-heat the skillet to medium-high heat. Carefully place patties on it, cooking each side 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flipping one time, carefully.
6. Place on plates, top with caramelized onions and mushrooms, drizzle with a little BBQ sauce and enjoy!
