In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Add the cooked brown rice, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, grated cheddar cheese, and one large egg to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture holds together. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove from the skillet and allow the patties to rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a minute before serving.
Serve the vegetarian juicy cheeseburger patties on your choice of burger buns with toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and any sauce you prefer.
