Plant-Based Black Bean Burgers
Combine the can of black beans, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1/4 cup of salsa and 1/2 tsp of salt. Put it in a food processer or mix by hand.
Put them on an oiled cookie sheet. Make about 4 patties and separate them by an inch or more on the cookie sheet. Bake at 340 degrees for 10-11 minutes, then flip them over and bake another 10-11 minutes.
Other options for the bases include macaroni salad, vegan macaroni and cheese or store-bought frozen French Fries.
If you don't want to make the black bean burgers, you can use store-bought frozen plant-based burgers or plant-based hot dogs as the meat substitute.
Feel free to double or triple the chili meatless sauce recipe. This recipe was scaled down for 1 serving, but it might be easier to make more at one time. Also, feel free to use a meat substitute instead of beans in the chili sauce if you prefer.
Skip the bread for a gluten-free option, or try Ezekiel bread as a good alternative.
