Grind the walnuts in a food processor, pulsing until they are finely ground. They should be ground but not floury, and keep an eye on them or they will turn into walnut butter!
Transfer the ground nuts to a mixing bowl.
Pulse the beets in the food processor until finely chopped. Just short little pulses to keep the beets from blending into a puree.
Transfer the beets to the mixing bowl with the walnuts.
Pulse the beans in the food processor until most of them are broken up. It’s best to end up with a lot of whole beans and a few broken up ones than to end up with black bean paste, so just pulse it a few times until some of your beans are broken up.
Transfer the beans to the mixing bowl.
Throw in 1/4 tsp of salt, all the spices, mustard, and liquid smoke and mix everything well with a large fork. Your burger mix should be fairly dry, but it should stick together if you try to form a patty. If it’s not sticking together at all, stir in a little squirt of vegan mayo. It shouldn’t be a very moist burger mix though.
Give your burger mix a taste and add more salt and black pepper if needed. I like these quite salty, so I go with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Preheat a non-stick griddle over medium heat and drizzle about two tablespoons of oil on it. These are best when they are crusty, so this is no time to skimp on oil!
Shape the burger mix into two patties and cook covered for five or six minutes. They are going to cook for a while, so lower the heat a little if your stove is a notorious burger burner.
Flip the burgers, drizzle a bit more oil if needed, and immediately slap a slice of vegan cheese on top of each patty. Cover and cook for three or four more minutes or until browned on the bottom. They should be slightly charred around the edges.
